Analyze multiple biomarkers in the same reaction at a low cost, without customized hydrolysis probes.
Figure 1. Lightsheet imaging of a UltraPCR reaction with 3-plex assay using either TaqMan probes or Universal Multiplex chemistry.
Advantages:
Novel multiplexing alternative using only standard PCR primers without custom probes, simplifying assay design.
Similar counting performance as TaqMan probes.
Lower multiplex assay cost by ~10-fold.
Efficient partitioning without microfluidics with no dead volume
Centrifugation-based partitioning using a standard benchtop centrifuge
30+ million partitions per sample directly placed into PCR tubes, 1000X+ more partitions than conventional dPCR
Industry-leading 50 uL PCR reactions with no dead volume
Counting DNA the way it should be - 1 molecule at a time.
Singlet partitions in UltraPCR
Mixed molecule partitions in dPCR
30+million partitions enables >1 million molecules, each in its own “singlet” partition
Count with simplicity and confidence - 1 positive singlet partition equals 1 DNA molecule
Eliminate the need of Poisson statistics arising from limited partitions in legacy dPCR systems
True single molecule counting over an unmatched 6-log dynamic range, achieving the true concept of digital PCR
Clarity in 3D provides direct peek of singlet partitions directly from PCR tubes.
Ultra-dPCR
Other dPCR
Proprietary chemistry enables formation of thermally stable and optically clear partitions for rapid, high-resolution 3D scanning in the same tube
Positive partitions are counted directly from within the PCR tube, providing a streamlined, single-tube workflow and eliminating risks of cross-sample contaminations
UltraPCR platform uses lightsheet imaging to provide high resolution 3D microscopy directly in PCR tubes with clear partitions
UltraClear 3D can scan 34 million partitions in under a minute per channel
Bringing multiplexing for everyday use.
Novel multiplexing alternative using a standard pair of PCR primers without the need of expensive hydrolysis probes
Rapid, low cost, multiplexed panel design (up to 4 with standard product offering)
Comparable counting performance as hydrolysis probes
Unprecedented level of multiplexing unlocked in UltraPCR.
