TI Modular Semi-Automatic System for the Detection of PrPsc using the Prionics CheckLIA BSE Rapidtest
QU Journal of the Association for Laboratory Automation 2005 Jun; 10: 163-6
AB In Germany, all slaughtered cattle and fallen stock above the age of 24 months are required to be tested for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Due to short turnaround times and urgent economic demand for fast results in the slaughterhouses, a highly reliable and fastrunning system is needed. Using the Prionics (Prionics AG, Schlieren, Switzerland) CheckLIA Rapidtest, a modular system was installed that has processed over 245,000 samples since February 2004. Test runs averaged 340 min per batch of 240 samples. The rate of initial reactive results was 1.95 in 1000 samples.
