The Novodiag® Test Cartridge contains two independent channels for performing real-time PCR and microarray
detection. Each one amplifies and detects a set of targets or is a duplicate for targeted test.
3. Principle of operation
Novodiag® System uses a combination of real-time PCR and microarray hybridisation to detect and identify
multiple nucleic acid targets from clinical specimens. The user of the Novodiag® System inserts the sample into a
Novodiag® Test Cartridge, introduces the cartridge into the Novodiag® Instrument and starts the run. The
Novodiag® Instrument interacts with the cartridge to extract nucleic acids from the sample, amplifies a set of
targeted sequences and transfers the amplified material to a microarray for hybridisation and detection (only for
Novodiag® Test panels). The results are automatically determined and displayed on the Novodiag® Software.
