Digital PCR Reagents and Chips Compatible with the Naica® System

Digital PCR workflows do not need to be challenging. Stilla Technologies cutting-edge patented microfluidic innovation integrates the Crystal Digital PCR® workflow into a single consumable. Combined with specially-formulated Nio™+ and naica® PCR MIX reagents, researchers get maximized sensitivity and flexible throughput with simple reaction assembly and minimal hands-on time.

Crystal Digital PCR® Chip Consumables

Stilla offers two types of easy-to-use Crystal Digital PCR® chip consumables. Depending on your individual digital PCR workflow needs, select the optimal chip type for your application. After sample preparation, each chip requires just a single pipetting step before being loaded into the Nio+ or naica® system for partitioning, PCR amplification, and sample read-out.

Crystal Digital PCR® Reagents

Specially-formulated Nio™+ and naica® PCR reagents ensure optimal performance for Crystal Digital PCR®. Through Stilla’s ready-to-use reagents solutions, acquire sensitive measurements for diverse DNA and RNA applications on the Nio™+ and naica® system.

naica® multiplex PCR MIX (TaqMan® compatible)

The naica® multiplex PCR MIX is a ready-to-use two-component solution specially formulated for optimal TaqMan® fluorescent probe-based Crystal Digital PCR® and high multiplexing capacity.

-The stably incorporated internal blue channel reference dye facilitates reaction assembly while ensuring reliable partition detection.

-The unique 10X concentration liberates a reaction volume that can instead be utilized by additional sample input, probes, or primers, which increases multiplexing capacity and provides superior detection sensitivity for low concentration samples and rare targets.
