Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) STMicroelectronics
From the world's foremost microfluidic supplier comes a powerful new molecular diagnostics tool for DNA amplification and analysis. ST's In-Check lab-on-chip brings the exponential power of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) into a cost effective and convenient format.
Clinicians no longer need to compromise between sensitivity, specificity and speed.
The In-Check platform is based on a silicon chip that integrates all the functions needed to identify given oligonucleotide sequences in a sample, including microfluidic handling, a miniaturized PCR reactor and a custom microarray. The chip is mounted on a 1"x3" plastic slide that provides the necessary mechanical, thermal, electrical and fluidic connections.
