Intended Use
Solana is a stand-alone instrument which is able to run up to 12 tubes of Solana diagnostic assays.
It should only be used according to the safety precautions outlined in the Brief Warnings, Precautions and
Limitations section. Solana is only compatible with Quidel Solana assays run by trained qualified personnel.
Product Description
Solana uses isothermal, helicase-dependent amplification and fluorescent, probe-based detection that is
illuminated by an ultraviolet (UV) and visible light source to generate specific results.
Each reaction tube contains an internal process control that is also read via fluorescence. This ensures that
amplification has occurred within the reaction tube to permit an accurate reading.
Solana then displays the test results to the user (e.g., Positive, Negative, Invalid) on the screen. These results
can be printed on an integrated or networked printer, label printer, saved on a USB flash drive, and/or sent to
a Laboratory Information System (LIS).
