The Unyvero Lysator (1) lyses the samples. Based on newly developed technologies, the lysator is able to process a wide range of clinical sample types using a standardized protocol. The Unyvero A50 Analyzer (2) processes up to two Unyvero Cartridges in random access mode, and automatically performs DNA purification, specific amplification and detection. The Unyvero Cockpit (3) is equipped with a touchscreen and barcode reader, and connects the Unyvero Analyzer to the Unyvero Lysator. The Unyvero OS (software) and application-specific Unyvero Plug-Ins are part of the user interface that guides the user step by step through the process, and automatically generates and displays test results.
The consumables listed below are necessary to use the Unyvero System. They are available separately:

17 Consumables and Accessories The respective Unyvero Cartridge contains reagents for DNA isolation and purification, primers, hybridization buffers, wash buffers, and oligonucleotides for detection.
The Unyvero T1 Sample Tube contains glass beads and buffers to lyse bacteria and liquefy the sample in the Unyvero Lysator. The Unyvero T1 Sample Tube Cap seals the Unyvero Sample Tube. It contains proteinase K and a synthetic control gene for an integrated process monitoring. The Unyvero B1 Sample Tube contains glass beads and buffers to lyse bacteria and liquefy the sample in the Unyvero Lysator. The Unyvero B1 Sample Tube Cap seals the Unyvero B1 Sample Tube; and it contains proteinase K as well as a synthetic control gene for process monitoring. The Unyvero M1 Master Mix Tube is filled with reagents for DNA amplification. The Unyvero Sample Tube Holder holds the Unyvero Sample Tube securely while the patient material is transferred into the Unyvero Sample Tube (accessory supplied with the Unyvero System). NOTE The application-specific Unyvero Cartridges need specific Unyvero Sample Tubes and Caps, sample transfer, or pre-treatment tools, respectively.

20 The Unyvero Cartridge is assembled by inserting the Unyvero Sample Tube containing the lysed sample, and by inserting the Unyvero Master Mix Tube. Once assembled, the cartridge is physically closed, minimizing the risk of contamination. An internal control (a synthetic gene without any significant similarity to known sequences) is included in the cartridge to verify DNA purification, PCR and array hybridization for each measurement. This gene is amplified in each of the eight PCR chambers and hybridized on each array. Descriptions of the Unyvero Cartridges with their specific applications can be found in the respective application manuals.
3.4 Unyvero A50 Analyzer The Unyvero Analyzer consists of mechanical, electronic, and optical elements to perform all sample preparation and analysis steps of the cartridge. 1

3.7 Analysis Principle The Unyvero Application automates and integrates DNA extraction and purification, eight parallel multiplex endpoint PCR reactions, and the qualitative detection of amplicons using hybridization on arrays in a single-use cartridge. » The sample is transferred to the Unyvero Sample Tube, sealed with the Unyvero Sample Tube Cap, and lysed in the Unyvero Lysator. » The Unyvero Sample Tube and the Unyvero Master Mix Tube are then inserted into the cartridge. » The Unyvero Cartridge is inserted into the Unyvero Analyzer, which processes the cartridge fully automated. The software guides the user through the entire process. A barcode reader allows the input of sample data and consumables. The software checks the expiration dates of the consumables and records them together with the lot number.
