PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The cornerstone of RIA. The GENESYS Genii Series gamma counters contain advanced data reduction features suitable for calculating all versions of RIA, IRMA, Ratio and Screening assays. With the flexibility to independently choose curvefit, response variable (transformation) and graph paper, the GENESYS Genii gives you the power to adequately handle the wide range of radioimmunoiassays available for clinical and research applications; from the routine through the esoteric.

Project Details

 

While the vast majority of clinical work is done by RIA using I125, research, special studies and other circumstances can mean the need to count other isotopes. The Genesys™ Genii multi-well gamma counter and Gamma-1 are designed with specially developed, asymmetrical crystals that can reliably count energies up to 1000 KEV.  Heavy shielding, crosstalk correction and 4096 channels work together to ensure flawless performance. 

Need to count high activity samples?  The Genesys™ can easily handle samples with count rates up to 16 million CPM (for I125).  Try that with any other gamma counter!

 


Ease of Use

The Genesys Genii Multi-Well Gamma Counter Series is very user friendly load samples into a tray. Place in wells. Press count. Repeat. Done. It’s that simple.

Advanced curve fitting algorithms produce flawless assay curves and superior results. Run after run, day after day, year after year.

Quality control tracking is automatic with Levey-Jennings charts and detailed reports. 

Simple operation minimizes training time. New employees, temporary help, etc. can be running assays within minutes.

 


Data Reduction

The GENESYS Genii Series gamma counters contain advanced data reduction features suitable for calculating all versions of RIA, IRMA, Ratio and Screening assays.

With the flexibility to independently choose curve fit, response variable (transformation) and graph paper, the GENESYS Genii gives you the power to adequately handle the wide range of radioimmunoassays available for clinical and research applications; from the routine through the esoteric.

 

 

The range of popular curve fits include: point to point, cubic spline, straight line, weighted straight line and four parameter logistic (4PL).

Response variables include: %B/TC, %B/B0, CPM, TC/B, B0/B, 1/CPM, CPM/(standard #), %CPM/ (High Standard), CPM/(TC-CPM) and (TC-CPM)/CPM.

Standard curve axes choices are: Linear-Linear, Semi-Log, Log-Log, Logit-Log, Linear-Log and Log-Linear.

 

 


Quality Control Software

The GENESYS Genii Series multi-well gamma counter comes equipped with software to allow quality control evaluation and storage.

Probably the most useful feature of all within the QC software, is its ability to update the QC limits – either for a marked range or for the entire table. There are no manual calculations involved, GENESYS does all the work when you select UPDATE LIMITS.

 

 

With complete QC reports, including Levey-Jennings charts, no more manual plotting is required.

After run number 31 is reached, the oldest run is removed and all other runs moved up one. In this way GENESYS always keeps the most current 30 QC runs available.

The GENESYS QC software is extremely versatile and comprehensive.

 

 


Rock Solid

Being completely solid state and built with great care and precision, the Genesys™ Series gamma counters have a reputation for being extremely reliable and requiring very minimal servicing. 

The Genesys™ Series incorporates software containing complete programs for monitoring and documentation of all instrument parameters. the routines include: Background Check, Detector Efficiency Check, Chi-Square interpretation, Automatic Detector Gain Adjustment, Normalization of Detectors, FWHM Detector Resolution test and RAM Tests.

We include a one year limited warranty with each GENESYS gamma counter. This warranty includes prompt and courteous response by our factory service engineers*.

 

 


Compact size

It seems no matter where in the world you go, bench space in the lab is a precious thing.  There is far too little available for comfort.  Every bit has to be used wisely.  

With as many years in this business as we have, we understand that very well.  This is why we designed the Genesys™ Genii and Gamma-1 to be as compact as possible.  The Genesys™ Genii occupies a mere 20 inches, and only 13 inches front to back.  

Small doesn’t mean weak.  Genesys™ gamma counters are known worldwide as the most durable, reliable and capable instruments you can own.  You don’t have to be a bench-hog to have a big impact.

 

 


Best Value

Our design philosophy is such that we feel that more than one service call per 10 years of ownership is too much. The Genesys Genii delivers on that philosophy.

-User performed automatic system calibration using an I125, Co57 or Cs137 source.

-Efficiency calculation with I125 tracer. Save $ No standards needed. 

-No preventative maintenance necessary 

-Minimal electrical usage, less then 30 watts

-Very small footprint 

 

Owning a Genesys Genii is an investment. A long term investment, because you will be getting decades of dependable performance without costly maintenance.
