Naica Six-color Digital PCR Systerm
Equipment Introduction
Digital PCR (dPCR) is a powerful tool used for the precise and highly sensitive quantification of nucleic acids. The naica® system is an easy-to-use dPCR platform that harnesses cutting-edge microfluidic technology to integrate the dPCR workflow onto a single consumable chip. The technology, known as Crystal Digital PCR™, partitions samples into a large array of thousands of individual droplet crystals – each its own reaction compartment – before amplifying nucleic acid molecules in each droplet crystal. These reactions are tagged with fluorophores to be read using up to six different fluorescence light channels. This makes for a fast and simple workflow that provides high multiplexing capability with powerful sensitivity while reducing time to results and saving precious sample.
