Mutation Detection – Oncology
Key Features:
- Semi-Automated Workflow: The Digital LightCycler® System supports a semi-automated workflow to run Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT).
- Digital Endpoint PCR Analysis: The system performs digital endpoint PCR analysis of microfluidic partitions, combining the functionalities of instrumentation, consumables, reagents, and data management for efficient workflow from sample partitioning to result interpretation.
- Intended Use: Designed for in vitro diagnostic use by professional users in diagnostic and screening laboratories.
- System Components: The system consists of the Digital LightCycler® Analyzer, the Digital LightCycler® Partitioning Engine, and specified consumables, core reagents, and application software. All assays are developed independently of the Digital LightCycler® System.
- Digital PCR Technology (dPCR): The system uses dPCR technology for absolute quantification of nucleic acid target copy number without a standard curve.
- Advanced Applications: The system allows for a wide range of applications, such as oncology by analyzing cell-free DNA, rare mutations, copy number variations, and gene expression, or infectious disease diagnostics by detecting and quantifying low viral loads.
- Main Features:
- Digital PCR technology for low target detection.
- Six fluorescence channels for multichannel detection.
- Three analysis types (absolute quantification, CNV, indel).
- Workflows for diagnostic and development purposes.
- Development software for detailed data analysis.
- 5x concentrated DNA and RNA master reagents for higher sample fraction.
- Partitioning of each sample into a large number of nanowells on a dedicated nanowell plate.
- Merged lanes emulate the partitioning of a larger sample volume into an even higher number of nanowells.
- Three types of nanowell plates (universal, high resolution, high sensitivity) for different applications.
- Partitioning of up to eight samples on one nanowell plate in the partitioning engine.
- Processing of up to 96 samples on 12 nanowell plates on the analyzer.
