The Promise of illumigene® empowers your lab with the speed and accuracy of molecular testing.

illumigene® delivers the power of molecular technology in a simplified and affordable format. Meridian Bioscience has employed Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) technology to design and manufacture the illumipro-10™, a compact, automated detection system with a very simple assay process that is the heart of illumigene®. Based on feedback from hundreds of laboratory professionals, illumigene® is the molecular diagnostic system clinical labs have been waiting for.

illumigene® is:

• Simple procedure with a smaller footprint 
• Faster and More Flexible
• More cost-effective

illumigene® makes it possible for any laboratory—regardless of space, personnel, or budget limitations—to implement molecular diagnostic capabilities.

Simpler and Smaller
The simple 7-step sample preparation process takes less than 2 minutes of hands-on time per sample. The illumipro-10™ offers walk-away automation. When you place the sample into the illumipro-10™ and press the “run” button, your work is done.

With illumigene® there is:

• No centrifugation, precision pipetting
• No thermal cycling
• No gel electrophoresis

The illumipro-10™:

• Has a very small footprint—approximately the size of an 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper
• Internal and external keyboard as well as an internal bar code reader for flexible sample ID entry
• Provides continuous access while running up to 10 samples at a time in 2 independent 5-sample chambers
• Does not require an auxiliary computer

Faster and More Flexible
Because there is no thermal cycling, illumigene® can provide results for up to 10 samples in less than an hour. Results are displayed directly on the illumipro-10™ LED readout screen and can be printed out on the system printer. illumigene® integrates easily into any facility, regardless of work volume or staff experience:

• Flexibility to stop and restart the assay procedure
• Adaptable to single sample or batch processing
• Optional work station adapts to any user or work flow

More Cost Effective
illumigene® allows your lab to add molecular diagnostics without additional costs for labor, training, and capital equipment. In your lab, illumigene® means:

• Less than 2 minutes hands-on time per sample
• Minimal labor requirement
• Low maintenance with no additional service costs and 24-hour equipment replacement
• Reduced waste disposal costs from environmentally friendly, mercury-free process

Add illumigene® Capability to Your Lab
illumigene® is revolutionary technology that is simple, fast, and affordable. It puts molecular diagnostics within the reach of every lab.
