Offers reduced “hands on time”

  • No post-PCR purification
  • No routine instrument calibration required

Electrochemical Detection Technology

 

Target DNA is bound to the gold electrodes on the cartridge via specific binding to the capture probe attached to the electrode by a selfassembled monolayer. The allele specific signal probe binds to the target sequence adjacent to the base of the capture probe, and the associated ferrocene labels are detected at the electrode surface by alternating current voltometry. This allows high specificity in a multiplexed geonotyping test
