ACSIA & ACSIA XS

The ACSIA range combines performance and profitability

In order to increase your productivity, avoid contamination and improve work efficiency, PrimaDiag has designed the ACSIA range. Based on a completely new design, it offers a new concept of a simple, modular and affordable robot. This system relies on a set of robotic bases and accessories that can be combined to support a given biological protocol. Robust and reliable, it is managed by a very powerful software that can be used by everyone, the PrimaController ® II.

The ACSIA range is designed to perform a wide variety of liquid handling protocols with minimum effort for the end user while having one of the best quality / price ratios on the market and a controlled cost for a very rapid return on investment.

It was thought out and designed according to certain rules and values :  

A•C•S•I•A

Accuracy
​Hight precision for all protocols

Compact
​ Deck and size optimized for a best comfort of work

Strenght
​Robust unit combining quality and reliability

Innovatine
An other way to think automation

Affordable
​The right price for the highest quality

CHARACTERISTICS OF ACSIA PLATFORMS
​

The ACSIA range is connected by USB to a computer (supplied in our different editions) and managed by the PrimaController®II.
It comes in two sizes: ACSIA and ACSIA XS which adapt perfectly to your bench tops.

ACSIA

The ACSIA is our largest platform.
With its 16 SBS slots, it allows for extremely complex protocols by adding numerous modules to its workspace, such as our shaker and our magnetic block. It can also integrate one or two single-channel and / or 8-channel pipettes for greater flexibility in your protocols.

 ACSIA XS

The ACSIA XS is the smallest of our platforms with 8 SBS slots. It can integrate a single-channel or 8-channel pipette to perform a wide variety of liquid handling protocols. Its compactness, robustness and excellent performance therefore make it the ideal back-up machine for all small and medium throughput laboratories.

Protective enclosures

PrimaDiag has designed specific protective enclosures for ACSIA line products.

​Our protective enclosure allows isolation of the platform for better quality experiences.
Thanks to a door closing sensor, the ACSIA only operates when the enclosure door is fully closed.
It also stops as soon as the door is opened by a user, in order to avoid any risk of incident.
We supply the ACSIA protective enclosure with integrated UV technology, thus ensuring the decontamination of the workspace after use.

UV device integrated into the protective enclosures :

15W germicidal UV tube UV

Timer ajustable from 0 to 30 minutes

Door opening detection

Magnetic work unit

This innovative module replaces conventional gripper systems, thanks to our patented APIM technology (Attraction Point by Induced Magnetization). It also comes with a cover that keeps the plates in place, even if they have been curved by the heat of a thermal cycler.

Simple and efficient : 

• Turns on and off without the need to move the PCR plate, controlled by our operating software.
• Attraction of magnetic beads in seconds.
• Suitable for most PCR plates on the market and most purification / isolation kits.​

PRIMACONTROLLER II ®

The PrimaController®II, the result of many years of research and development, makes automation easy for everyone.

REALISTIC AND INTERACTIVE VIEW

​Do not be mistaken about the choice of your consumables. The PrimaController ® II displays a realistic and interactive view of your workspace where each consumable is represented as close to reality as possible. In addition, you are able to deposit and move your consumables as easily as on your real workspace !

FOCUS ON YOUR TASKS

The  PrimaController®II takes the worry out of programming by guiding you through your pipetting and module control tasks. An innovative selection system allows you to choose the desired wells with unparalleled ease. The  PrimaController®II will surprise you with its ability to guess what you want to manage.

---

SAMPLES AND LIQUID TRACKING

Track the ID of any sample and verify the composition of each well using a pie chart. IDs can be imported and exported easily or entered with a barcode reader.

SMART MANAGMENT OF TIPS (SMT)
​The PrimaController®II and its innovative SMT technology allow intelligent reuse of tips without risk of cross-contamination during your processes. They guarantee you reduced process costs by reducing the number of tips used during your manipulations.

REAL TIME HELP
Define your parameters and the PrimaController ® II checks them to avoid handling errors and failure of your protocol.

​

Two handling possible

USE ON THE GO / ROUTINE USE

Use on the go: Create your protocol in minutes by directly defining your tasks. For example, you can create your entire 384-well PR plate setup in less than 5 minutes.

Routine use:  Create a more complex protocol to use in a routine task and reusable by anyone. For example, all you have to do is configure your protocol by asking the PrimaController®II to display the changing or variable parameters before each launch of said protocol. You can then modify them according to the daily conditions.

Increase your efficiency by forgetting the usual programming methods and adopt the PrimaController ®II
