The QuanTyper Platform

 
     
 
  • Unmet speed. Typically 32 cycles in 10 minutes.

  • Tricky samples? Ideal for samples with high concentrations of inhibitors.

  • Outstanding quality. Enhanced mass-transport gives rapid reaction kinetics.

  • No blocks but conventional formats. Normal PCR-tubes Volume range from 20 µL up to 200 µL.

The PCR process is covered by several patents owned by Roche Molecular Systems and F.Hoffman-La Roche Limited.

 

qPCR in 10 minutes. SuperConvection™ gives instantaneous and homogenous thermal equilibration, cutting thermocycling times to seconds. The QuanTyper™-48 is the first instrument which has a capacity of 48 individual 0.2 mL PCR-tubes and features real-time detection and HRM capability.

Sequence verified detection in 90 minutes. QuanType™r-48 gives not only quantitative data in 10 minutes but can also be used to prepare samples for diagnostic sequencing. Combined with Capillary Electroforesis (not provided by AlphaHelix), this gives at least 300 bases of dideoxy sequence data, providing a new strategy to fight diseases like HIV and avian flu. It is also an effective tool for human identification in forensics and transplantation surgery as well as to identify bacteria types with the powerful MLST-methodology.

  QuanTyper™ -48      

 

QuanTyper™-48 is the first superconvective qPCR instrument in the world. Moreover, it is the worlds most rapid instrument in terms of ramping a certain reaction volume in conventional PCR-tubes.

During the development process, quite outstanding qPCR-analyses have been obtained by AlphaHelix and in cooperation with prominent partners worldwide.

  Capillette®      
 

The predispensed reagent cartridge Capillette® is a preferred liquid handling option for the platform. It eliminates pipetting errors and prohibits contamination. Since Capillette accommodates to conventional 0.2 mL tubes it can be used also for all block instruments at the market.
