Technical Specifications
SmartChip Real-Time PCR System technical specifications
The SmartChip system is a complete system that enables high-throughput, high density, real-time PCR for gene expression or single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping analysis. The SmartChip MultiSample NanoDispenser (MSND) is a high precision, nanoliter-volume liquid handling system customized with a chip-cooling station and an enclosed humidification environment for delivering multiple samples on custom target sets. In just over 2 hr, the SmartChip Real-Time PCR Cycler can process 5,184 reactions in parallel from a single chip. Gene expression analysis can be performed using dye- or probe-based methods, depending on your research needs. Common SNP genotyping protocols making use of FAM and VIC dyes are optimized to meet your high-throughput experimental needs in a cost-effective manner.
