Smart Cartridge
Powered by digital microfluidic technology, software controlled digital signals guide the movement of droplets on the Smart Cartridge surface to enable splitting, dispensing and merging of biological reagents. Pipette DNA, cell free expression reagents and purification solutions on the Smart Cartridge and the technology will deliver the rest.
Gain precise control of your eGene™ constructs and reagents to screen and discover optimal expressing conditions within 24 hours, accelerating target selection. A simple set-up allows anyone to run the system with minimal training.
Automate separate workflows of expression, characterization and purification all onto one cartridge
Pipette reagents for screen and purification and eProtein DiscoveryTM delivers the rest
192X screening pairs analyzed in one run and then obtainable candidates selected for purification
Multiplex optimization: 24 DNA constructs x 8 conditions = 192 data points screened in parallel
Fluorescent end point detection capability: Fluorescent data for 192 sites on cartridge
Magnetic bead-based purification: Miniaturized protein purification on chip for purifiability assessment
High resolution digital droplet control: 250k individual pixels on cartridge enables precise droplet acrobatics
Electrowetting on dielectric Smart Cartridge: Digital signals to manipulate droplets of diverse chemistry
Protected by vacuum deposition smart coating technology: Coating optimized to enable precise movement of small volumes
