The possibility of performing fast PCR in miniaturized volumes has attracted attention of industries and academics to carry out cost-effective high throughput testing and screening. The new advanced AriaDNA® real-time PCR system provides fast and easy-to-use microchip based nucleic acids analysis. The low volume per analysis (1.0–3.6 ml) together with the extremely fast heating and cooling device shortens analysis time by threefold and costs per analysis is significant reduced. The technology also allows the existing PCR applications to be easily adapted to it.

PCR analysis time (45 cycles) — 20 minutes

high thermocycling rate (10–12 °C/s)

Low sample and reagent consumption

• 5–1.8 ml of 2x PCR master mix

• 5–1.8 ml sample volume

Low detection limits

1–5 DNA copies per microreactor

Microchips with ready-to-use lyophilized PCR mixture reduce user labor

Qualitative and quantitative DNA/RNA analysis

• simultaneously in 20–48 microreactors

• two detector channels (FAM, SYBR Green / ROX)

Minimizing contamination

• PCR is performed in a microchip isolated from environment
• chemical modification of the microchip surface

Small footprint

• minimize lab space requirements
