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. |

| In-Check™ platform |
| 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.

| Instruments & Tools |
In addition to the slide itself, which can be conveniently used on most equipments commonly available in biology labs, a dedicated set of optimized instruments is provided. The integrated compact high precision Temperature Control System is designed to enable random access analysis of up to five independent samples. A portable, customized fluorescent-based optical reader analyzes the microarray in a few seconds.
Thanks to our proprietary microarray software, the platform can provide highly detailed spot and microarray analysis in addition to the actual diagnostic report.
Users can easily be trained to operate the platform to generate molecular diagnostic information where it is most useful, from a central lab location to patient point-of-care. |

| Applications |
PCR has very quickly become an essential method for improving human health and human life.
The In-Check™ microfluidic design reduces the PCR cycle time by at least 70% compared to the same protocol run on a conventional thermocycler, and is particularly suited for diagnostic applications like clinical, industrial & veterinary diagnostics.
