Life Science 09
Our customer designed a DNA sample
handling and preparation system to
generate small droplets of PCR oil-based
reagent that has been loaded with DNA
content. The bubbles are dispensed into a
well plate and sent to a digital PCR system
for replication.
The solution is a unique design that incorporates 11-Chipsol
valves, 2-MS valves, a Flatprop and an array of sensors,
fittings and PCBs. All of these components are mounted onto
a 5-layer acrylic manifold with two discrete integrated pressure
chambers. The unit allows the direct interface of the customer's
disposable – the bottle with PCR reagent – into the manifold.
This unit uses an air-over-liquid system, supplying the necessary
means to pull the PCR reagent out of the bottle and redirect to
a separate dispense head. The dispense head then auto-fills
the small well plates that are loaded into the PCR system.
This assembly creates advantage by reducing instrument
production time and inventory management, reducing field
service warranty claims and improving operational efficiencies.
