Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is now often indispensable technique used in medical and biological research labs for a variety of applications including qualitative and quantitative nucleic acid analysis; DNA cloning for sequencing, DNA-based phylogeny, or functional analysis of genes; the diagnosis of hereditary diseases; the identification of genetic fingerprints (used in forensic sciences and paternity testing); and the detection and diagnosis of infectious diseases.
PCR analysis time (45 cycles) – 20 minutes
due to high thermocycling rate (10–12 °C/s);
Low sample and reagent consumption
only 0.5–1.8 μl of 2x PCR master mix for 0.5–1.8 μl sample;
Low detection limits
1–5 DNA/RNA copies per microreactor;
Microchips with ready-to-use immobilized PCR reagents;
reduce user’s labor content;
Qualitative and quantitative DNA/RNA analysis
simultaneously in 20–48 microreactors via 2 detector channels (FAM, SYBR Green / ROX, Cy5);
Minimizing contamination
PCR is performed in a microchip isolated from environment;
Real-time data monitoring
current process settings (temperature, PCR cycle); analysis time; expected time to complete analysis; PCR curves parameters; plus/minus DNA analysis results;
User friendly graphical interface;
Automatic report generation;
CFR 21 Part 11 complaint;
Export results in industry standard data formats.
