SmartChip tutorials
See what's needed to do an experiment using the SmartChip Real-Time PCR System. These videos are a part of our larger SmartChip Real-Time PCR System tutorial series. For access to the entire tutorial series, please contact us.
An introduction to all components of the SmartChip system and how they work together.
The source well plate contains your samples or assays and is placed in the MultiSample Nanodispenser.
The chip must be correctly placed into the MultiSample NanoDispenser prior to dispensing.
The intermediate film is used to protect samples/assays between dispenses.
The cycling film is placed onto the chip after samples and assays have been dispensed.
This file automatically assigns sample and assay data to each well of the loaded chip in the SmartChip qPCR Cycler software.
The final step of a SmartChip experiment: setting up, loading, and starting the SmartChip Cycler.
Understanding the hardware
An introduction to all components of the SmartChip system and how they work together.
Preparing the sample or assay plate
Learn how to prepare the 384 source well plate containing your samples/assays for loading into the SmartChip chip.
Loading the chip prior to dispense
This video shows how to load the chip into the MultiSample NanoDispenser prior to dispensing.
Overlaying the intermediate film
This video shows how to remove the chip from the chip nest, blot the chip, overlay the intermediate film, and centrifuge the chip.
Overlaying the cycling film
This video shows how to properly overlay the cycling film onto the chip after samples and assays have been dispensed.
Creating the MD or PD file
See how to create an MD and PD file using the SmartChip Dispenser software. This file is then loaded into the SmartChip qPCR Software to automatically load sample and assay data to each well of the loaded chip.
Performing the real-time PCR run
Learn how to set up and load the SmartChip Real-Time PCR Cycler.
