EUROStar II: The Standardised Fluorescence Microscope. 50,000 Hours Operation at 100% Luminous Power

The EUROStar is specifically tailored to the requirements of indirect immunofluorescence. Unnecessary and partly expensive components have been deliberately left out of the design and the conventional complex illumination fittings have been replaced by the stunningly simple EUROStar Bluelight system.
With the EUROStar Bluelight, engineers at EUROIMMUN AG have introduced blue light-emitting diodes to fluorescence microscopy. Almost all the emitted light is suitable for the excitation of fluorescein.
The EUROStar Bluelight does not emit any ultraviolet radiation and is explosion proof.
The EUROStar Bluelight is immediately ready for operation after being switched off and offers instant full output after being switched on again. The LED shines for 50,000 hours – which is 500 times longer than a mercury vapour lamp. Thus, the microscope requires almost no maintenance.
EUROStar was designed to accommodate the additional assembly of a digital camera.

Various validated parameters. Slide definitions and test files are provided on CD.
CE conformity for device/test system combination.
Capacity: 16 slides, 80 samples, 200 dilutions.
Programmable for 8 methods per run.
10 dilution series freely programmable.
Automated sample dilution, sample and reagent dispension, incubation and washing of slides.
Laboratory software interface.
The incubation protocol for result documentation is automatically created from the worklist.
Barcode reader available on request.

For all EUROIMMUN blot systems: EUROLINE, EUROLINE-WB, Westernblot.
For all areas: autoimmune diagnostics, infectious serology and allergy.
EUROBlotCamera: digitalisation of strips while in the incubation tray.
EUROBlotScanner: digitalisation of strips using flatbed scanner.
Fully automated identification, quantitation and assignment of bands.
Option to modify results (changes are automatically documented).
Complete results obtained just a few minutes after finishing the incubation.
Fully automated administration and documentation of extensive individual data.
Electronic archiving of all images and data (avoids the need to store potentially infectious blot strips).

Standardisation of immunoblot strips – higher precision
and reproducibility
Automatisation of all EUROIMMUN immunoblot strips (EUROLINE, EUROLINE-WB, Westernblot)
Over 65 validated parameters available (16 autoantibody, 28 infectious and 21 allergy parameters)
Up to 30 strips per test run
Easy operation
Combination of different conjugates/tests in one run
Walk-away function – fully automated from the start to the end of processing following loading
Compatible with modern evaluation systems such as EUROBlotCamera and EUROLineScan

One for all: fully automated processing of all EUROIMMUN ELISA – autoimmune diagnostics, infectious serology and allergology – with only one system.
Flexibility for your benefit: open system with more than 800 validated EUROIMMUN parameters for serum, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, over 50 or 30 parameters in parallel.
Convenient, simple and reliable operation: e.g. by scanning QC certificates using a 2D-hand barcode scanner – ready-for-use reagents and preprogrammed assay protocols enable you to start immediately.
Capacity and throughput: quick loading and efficient time management allow processing of up to 70 or 50 tests per hour – up to 7 or 3 plates, 180 or 144 samples at the start of a run.
Security for patients: validated test systems and the comprehensive safety kit provide the basis for reliable diagnostics.
Reliability and service: instruments and reagents from one manufacturer, quick and targeted support from our personnel for a smooth workflow in your laboratory.
