Handling
The Sigmoida qCycler 48 can be installed quickly using plug-and-play. Up to 10 devices can be connected to one of your computers.
vNAT - the transport tube that can do more for you
The vNAT tube prepares your sample for PCR on its way to the laboratory. The cells are lysed in the transport tube after just 1 minute and the nucleic acid is released. The sample can then be used directly for PCR WITHOUT extraction or stored at room temperature for up to 72 hours and at 2-8°C for 3 months.
Validated swab material: nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, throat, rectal, vaginal, cervical, urethral, urogenital, endocervical, penis and conjunctiva
vCAP - PCR set-up in qPCR tube
This Bioeksen format is designed exclusively for MIC/Sigmoida qCycler 48. All reagents are already provided in the vCAP tube. Master Mix and enzymes are separated by a kerosene layer before analysis. All you have to do is pipette the eluate or sample from the vNAT transport tube into the vCAP. The cycler does the rest for you.
Stabilized format - only 2 pipetting steps away from the result
The qPCR tubes already contain the lyophilized oligo mix for your analysis. Enzyme-Mix is already aliquoted in the Enzyme-Mix-Tube. All you have to do now is to transfer the eluate into the enzyme mix tube, pipette the eluate/enzyme mix into the qPCR tube and place it in your cycler (e.g. Bio-Rad CFX/Roche Lightcycler 96/ Adaltis AmpliLab, MDXlab) - done!
Liquid Format - old but golden!
The tried and tested format consisting of enzyme and master mix has been validated on a large number of cyclers. Validated cyclers under "Documents and Downloads" - Bioeksen catalog
Expert opinion
Here's what our experts say about the product
With the Sigmoida qCycler 48 you decide whether you want to use it as a high-quality, precise cycler or choose an innovative approach together with the vNAT transport tube and the qPCR tube vCAP. The sample is prepared for PCR by chemical lysis in the vNAT. The vCAP already contains all the necessary PCR reagents. A PCR set-up is not necessary. Simply pipette the sample from the vNAT into the vCAP and start the PCR. The samples remain stable in the vNAT for up to 7 days at 7°CExpert since 2016
