48 vs. 96/384 Well
Mic’s reproducibility shatters the commonly held belief that to get the same results you must run all of your samples simultaneously. With as little as 3% variability in results across multiple machines and over an extended period of time, you can process your samples as they become available. In fact, the variability between samples over multiple Mic runs is lower than the variability within a single run on some 384 well cyclers. You also get to keep your sanity by not having to pipette 384 reactions at once.
4 vs. 5/6 Channel Optics
Multiplexing more than 4 channels typically results in a loss of sensitivity of the assay due to competitive inhibition (a limited number of reagents causes one or more of the targets to fail to amplify) or primer pair interference resulting in non-specific product formation. Furthermore, very high optical channel cross-talk between the additional channels reduces the ability to accurately determine results and increases the probability of false positives. The latest optical technology integrated into Mic means that you can also now perform high-resolution melts (HRM) on any of the 4 channels. There is no need for a special HRM channel.
Software Methods
The next-generation software developed for the Mic qPCR cycler simplifies your setup and automates your analysis. No longer do you need to remember what thermal profile or analysis settings you used last time – everything is saved in your assay library. Enter your sample names, select the assays and Mic will do the rest. Our software never stops evolving. The software uses the most advanced analysis algorithms available and conveniently reports all of the appropriate statistics and quality controls. All of this is developed to adhere to the highest scientific standards.
