ESH Touch
Advanced Electrophoresis Technology
Expanded Capacity, Flexible Dilutions
ESH Touch transfers samples directly from primary patient tubes to barcoded sample trays, ready for application to agarose gels by the SPIFE Touch. It’s 100-sample capacity accommodates the largest SPIFE Touch gels, plus dilution schemes for each sample can be specified. A touch screen interface makes the system easy to use.
