The Meander Chip - Suitable for continuous-flow PCR Fluidic 708 is a specialized PCR microfluidic device designed for continuous-flow polymerase chain reactions. Its channel volume is precisely 36.72 µl (interfaces excluded) and the chip supports flexible volume selection based on the length of 1919.73 mm. This chip features a single-channel layout in the microscope slide format and enables ultrafast thermal cycling for both two-step and three-step PCR applications.
General
The meander chip for flow PCR with 41 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 1919.73 mm and a volume of 36.72 (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
- Direct Tubing Connection: Olive interfaces allow a secure and easy connection to standard tubing systems, ensuring leak-free operation.
- Flexible Use: Supports both two and three temperature step PCR processes, providing versatility in continuous-flow PCR experiments.
- Efficient Thermal Cycling: Continuous movement of liquid over fixed temperature zones allows for ultrafast cycling, improving throughput and consistency.
- Microscope Slide Format: Standard 75.5 mm x 25.5 mm size fits existing holders and devices, making integration simple.
- Multiple Material Options: Available in PC or Topas for compatibility with a variety of chemical and physical requirements in the lab.
