For in vitro diagnostic use.
Digital LightCycler® System
The system is a nucleic acid quantification system that uses digital PCR technology (dPCR). The system partitions a sample into a large number of nanowells to allow for absolute quantification of a target nucleic acid sequence without a standard curve.The system allows for a wide range of applications, e.g., in oncology by analyzing cell-free DNA, rare mutations, copy number variations, and gene expression, or in infectious disease diagnostics by detection and quantification of low viral loads.The main features of the system are:Digital PCR technology (dPCR) for detection of low target concentrations6 fluorescence channels for multichannel detection3 analysis types (absolute quantification, CNV, indel)Workflows for diagnostic and development purposesDevelopment software for detailed data analysis5x concentrated DNA and RNA master reagents for higher sample fractionPartitioning of each sample into a large number of nanowells on a dedicated nanowell plateMerged lanes to emulate the partitioning of a larger sample volume into an even higher number of nanowells3 types of nanowell plates (universal, high resolution, high sensitivity) for different applicationsPartitioning of up to 8 samples on 1 nanowell plate in the partitioning engineProcessing of up to 96 samples on 12 nanowell plates on the analyzer
