Sentinel’s molecular portfolio is built on the proprietary technology STAT-NAT (Stabilized Amplification Technology – Nucleic Acid Testing), which is based on a new protective compound, able to stabilize the activity of enzymes for a very long time and to allow storage and shipment at room temperature. All the products of STAT-NAT are freeze-dried which guarantees long term storage.

A flexible, fast, compact robotic workstation to efficiently automate assays and sample preparation that includes two Real-Time thermal cyclers to manage all the steps from sample to the final result. The SENTiNAT®200 is a new walk-away system that can provide a complete solution for quantitative/qualitative PCR molecular biology freeze-dried kits. The platform is completed by the automatic software for result evaluation. In each session, the SENTiNAT®200 processes the extraction and purification of 48 samples and is able to perform up to 96 tests due to two integrated thermal-cyclers with magnetic induction heating/cooling technology.

Within this product line there are STAT-NAT Kits available for different disease, they have 5 categories: virology, healthcare-associated infections, parasitology, respiratory infections, and pharmacogenetics. At the moment there are 10 different kits, and 9 kits are in development. All the STAT-NAT Kits are available in an open configuration and validated on the most common PCR instruments.
