Real-time PCR system ChipGenie® edition T

microfluidiccompactfixed

The ChipGenie® edition T summarizes the instrument family used for chip-based applications requiring heating like for instance PCR. Some of the instruments cover the temperature control only, others include the optical read-out allowing e.g. for real-time PCR. The ChipGenie® edition TSO instrument allows for temperature control of microfluidic chips in slide format. A fixed temperature as well as temperature cycling can be done to enable e.g. a fast PCR on chip. The ChipGenie® edition TSO is equipped with a fluorescence-based read-out unit to carry out the optical detection on microfluidic ChipShop’s platform chips following the spacing of a 384 well plate of 4.5 mm with fixed read-out positions. The ChipGenie® edition TSO-3Z instrument is equipped with three temperature zones for the so-called continuous flow PCR. The temperature zones are kept at fixed temperature and the temperature cycling is achieved by moving the liquid in the chip over two or three temperature zones of the instrument resulting in ultrafast temperature cycles. The ChipGenie® edition TSO-3Z is equipped with a fluorescence-based read-out unit to carry out the optical detection.
