Elements on the STAR Q Punch AS Instrument worktable. The STAR Q Punch AS automates sample card punching and PCR assay setup, ensuring that a visual record of each punch is retained. Features include recognition of positively stained samples (e.g., blood on white card) and negatively stained sample (e.g., saliva on indicating cards), recognition of previously punched positions, and calculation of optimal punching positions by sample detection according to preset parameters. Full traceability of samples is achieved through bar code reading of cards and card magazines, monitoring and reporting successful punch delivery to target well, and image retention of all punched samples. • Precision imaging of the correct sampling area for each collection card ensures the highest possible first pass success rates. • Recording the successful punch into each sample well gives peace of mind and evidential continuity.
