Overview
The Sapphire Chip is designed for the naica® System, a high-resolution digital PCR system for nucleic acid analysis. The Sapphire Chip partitions nucleic acid samples into stable water-in-oil droplets and contains them on-chip for amplification and detection. This controlled droplet generation supports precise and consistent digital PCR results. The Sapphire Chip is intended for use by laboratory personnel trained in Digital PCR.
Features and Benefits
- Reliable droplet generation: Supports consistent, reproducible digital PCR performance
- Preprimed and ready-to-use: Simplifies setup by reducing preparation steps
- Secure on-chip containment: Helps maintain sample integrity throughout amplification and detection
- Designed for workflow integration: Works seamlessly with naica System instruments for smooth operation
Product Contents
- Sapphire Chip consumables are packaged in sealed shipping boxes containing 12 chips per box (4 plastic trays of 3 chips each)
- Each secondary packaging unit contains:
- 12 Sapphire Chip consumables, preloaded with proprietary oil and closed with flat white and blue caps
