Calculate your ROI
See how an automated Rhinostics-based workflow can bring dramatic time- and cost-savings to your laboratory compared to manual processing methods.
Two automated RHINOstic swab workflows are available - select the one that is ideal for your laboratory
1
Two-phase automated RHINOstic swab test procedure
Ideal for medium and high throughput laboratories
Phase 1
In a biosafety cabinet, load samples, automatically scan 2D barcodes and decap tubes, manually add
reagent, automatically recap tubes, manually move samples to incubator or heating block.
Phase 2
Move samples to automated liquid handler deck integrated with automated decapper, automatically decap
tubes and transfer precise liquid aliquots and reagents into assay plates, seal plates, analyze via PCR.
Capital equipment required: 2 decappers, 1 liquid handler
2
Fully automated RHINOstic swab test procedure
Ideal for ultra high sample demand, high throughput laboratories
Load samples, automatically scan 2D barcodes, automatically decap tubes and add elution reagent, automatically
recap tubes and move to integrated heating block, automatically decap tubes and transfer precise liquid aliquots
and reagents into assay plates, seal plates, analyze via PCR.
Capital equipment required: 1 decapper, 1 liquid handler
Key benefits of an Automated RHINOstic swab workflow
01
Decapping
Automatically remove caps/swabs to bring hands-free efficiences and improved reproducibility and
repeatability for better assay results.

02
Strengthen Results Integrity
Instantaneously read 96 2D barcodes into LIMS systems for hands-free and rapid accessionaing
- Hamilton LabElite ID Reader
- Azenta barcode readers
- ThermoFisher VisionMate barcode reader
03
Gain Speed
Link automated swab decapping and accessioning to your assay workflow for hands-free set up of 96 and 384
well assay plates.
- Hamilton Liquid Handlers
- (Star, Nimbus, Prep)
- Reallocate labor to high-level tasks
