The modular solution for neonatal screening, supplied by ZenTech, is intended for small series of samples. It contains the basic elements for performing the incubation, washing and reading steps of the 96-well microplate metabolic screening tests (suitable for scored microplates). This simple, cost-effective solution combines robustness and flexibility.

The Immunomat™ is intended for neonatal screening laboratories performing between 400 and 1000 daily determinations. With a maximum capacity of 7 microplates, it optimizes the rate of the laboratory by allowing the processing of different parameters in parallel.
The ELISA and enzymatic techniques are the standards in neonatal screening. These techniques enable the detection of metabolic and endocrine diseases that may cause developmental delays, or even death, in infants. With early detection, prompt management can be implemented, thereby maximizing the newborn’s chances of growing and developing normally. ZenTech markets nine kits using ELISA and enzyme techniques for the detection of eight diseases. To cater for the needs of each type of laboratory, regardless of size, manual or automated kits are available.
