1 Introduction

This document describes setup, configuration and operation of the T8-ISO Isothermal Test Instrument.

Axxin’s advanced T8-ISO isothermal instrument operates at constant temperature and enables the

next generation of molecular testing in a compact, low cost, stand alone, high sensitivity instrument

suitable for both laboratory and field-based applications.

The T8-ISO Instrument is a portable research instrument that provides measurement of two

fluorophores. The standard instrument configuration is FAM and ROX fluorophores. A HEX

fluorescence module is also available as a build option.

This instrument is intended for research and development use only and is not intended for in vitro

diagnostic (IVD) medical use without further assay and application specific, verification, testing and

software.

When used in research work the T8-ISO instrument forms part of a larger test system including the

chemistry assay under test and risks for the overall system should be considered.

If the intended research use carries risks of loss or injury, additional tests or indicators must be

considered to mitigate these risks.
