XDive™ Instrument
XDive Instrument
Star Array's XDive™ 5-minute PCR is an ultra-fast real-time PCR analysis platform that integrates high-speed thermal cycling, ultra-fast PCR reaction reagents, and real-time fluorescence data acquisition workflows. It can complete a 40-cycle qPCR reaction in less than 5 minutes while maintaining the sensitivity and dynamic range of a conventional PCR instrument. XDive™ can perform up to 16 ultra-fast reactions per experiment, providing moderate sample throughput and maximum working flexibility. It uses proprietary heating blocks, sensors, and algorithms to achieve ultra-fast ramp rates and superior temperature control accuracy. Its optical system consists of 4 fluorescence channels, which can be detected by multiplex real-time PCR analysis in minutes. XDive's unique TaqMan™ chemistry has been optimized for ultra-fast operating conditions. XDive™ reaction tubes accommodate reaction volumes on conventional PCR instruments, resulting in highly accurate and reproducible results for very ultra-fast fluorescence PCR analysis. The software structure of the system is simple and reasonable, and it is easy to operate.
XDive as an integratable superfast qPCR module
Star Array's original XDive™ 5-minute ultra-fast real-time PCR instrument can be easily integrated into new systems as an OEM module, significantly increasing productivity and flexibility, as well as reducing application costs. With Star Array’s 5 minutes superfast magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction instrument (Xtractor™) and reagent, users can also develop new ultra-fast real-time PCR applications on the XDive™ system with 16 sample throughput in as fast as 10 minutes from sample to answer, for point-of-care molecular testing, biosafety and biodefense testing, agricultural and animal health testing, food safety inspections, and environmental testing, etc.
