The Meander Chip - Suitable for continuous-flow PCR - Fluidic 47 is a microfluidic device designed for fast and efficient PCR reactions in a continuous-flow format. Its main purpose is to enable 15 PCR cycles with precise volume and channel control. The chip holds a volume of 40.26 µl and allows volumetric selection configured by operating parameters. It features a single fluidic channel architecture for reproducible and ultrafast temperature cycling, critical for PCR applications.
General
The meander chip for flow PCR with 15 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 805.2 mm and a volume of 40.26 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
- Efficient Temperature Cycling: Supports ultrafast PCR cycles by enabling two or three-step temperature protocols through direct movement of liquid across fixed zones.
- Simple Tubing Connection: Olive interfaces provide immediate compatibility with standard tubing, allowing for quick setup and reliable fluid handling.
- Microscope Slide Format: The standardized 75.5 mm x 25.5 mm chip size fits commonly used instrument holders and workflows.
- Versatile Compatibility: Compatible with ChipGenie® edition TS-3Z and TSO-3Z, broadening its usability in research and diagnostic applications.
- Transparent PC Construction: Transparent material allows for easy visual inspection during use.
This meander chip is engineered to streamline continuous-flow PCR experiments by integrating 15 thermal cycles with specific pre-denaturation and post-elongation phases.
