About the instrument

Overview of the instrument

The instrument draws the PCR master mix and sample across the surface of an OpenArray

™

 Plate.

The PCR master mix and sample do not need to be dispensed in specific volumes because the
through-holes of the OpenArray

™

 Plate are self-metering. The PCR master mix and sample also do not

need to be specifically dispensed into the through-holes because the through-holes draw the liquid in
by capillary action.

No bubbles are trapped during the dispensing process because there are no closed wells.

For more information about OpenArray

™

 technology, go to

.
