The Meander Chip - Suitable for continuous-flow PCR Fluidic 243 is a microfluidic device designed for performing ultrafast, continuous-flow polymerase chain reactions (PCR) with high precision. Its total volume is 253.94 µl, with fixed volume selection via an integrated meander channel design. The chip supports one channel and enables real-time temperature cycling by moving liquid through distinct temperature zones.
General
The meander chip for flow PCR with 40 cycles and a pre-denaturation and post-elongation step features two olive interfaces allowing for a direct connection with tubing. The chip comes in microscope slide format (75.5 mm x 25.5 mm) and can be used with our ChipGenie® edition TS-3Z and ChipGenie® edition TSO-3Z instruments. PCRs with two and three temperature steps can be run on it. It has a length of 1634.52 mm and a volume of 253.94 µl (interfaces excluded). For continuous flow PCR the temperature zones are kept at a 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.
Features & Benefits
- Continuous-flow PCR: Enables fast and efficient DNA amplification by moving samples through fixed temperature zones.
- Robust Connection: Olive interfaces ensure reliable, direct tubing connections for smooth fluid transfer and integration in setups.
