 Capillette
is a patented cartridge ideally
suited for PCR and is used for pre-dispensing
of complete PCR assays, including
primers. Capillette is emptied by
centrifugation and, therefore, fits
particularly well with AmpXpress,
where high speed centrifugation
is used to deliver the PCR reagents
directly at the start of the run.
Since Capillette fits conventional
0.2 mL tubes, by functioning as
a lid, it can be used with any block
instrument available on the market
(although it may interfere with
fluorescence readings in certain
qPCR instruments).

By adding Capillette® to their PCR
kits, diagnostic companies can significantly
improve liquid handling and gain quality-enhancing
and labor-saving advantages. The main
benefits are increased stability and
shelf life of PCR kit components,
reduced hands-on time during PCR reaction
setup, a significantly lowered risk
of contamination and increased reproducibility.
Capillette is suited
for PCR work but can also be used
in other applications such as DNA
sequencing, cDNA synthesis and cloning.
