Nadia Innovate vs standard modular microfluidic systems
Compared to standard modular microfluidics systems, Nadia Innovate is:
- Convenient: Fewer consumable parts, no tubing!
- Controlled: Easy operation with semi-automated steps.
- Compact: An enclosed microfluidic system.
Temperature
Temperature control is essential in many biological applications, and requirements vary depending on experimental needs.
For example, whilst keeping a cell sample at cold temperature helps maintain the transcriptome state, the production of hydrogel beads with agarose requires heating to keep the agarose molten.
With Nadia Innovate and Nadia Go, control the temperature from 4 – 40°C at every step, from sample loading, to during the run, to post-run incubation temperature.
Time
Adapt pre – and post run incubation steps to suit your sample type.
Or change the duration of a run to process different sample input volumes.
Stirring
To ensure an even distribution of cells and beads (if using beads) in droplets throughout a run, it is crucial to keep both in suspension as they will otherwise settle at the bottom of their respective wells, resulting in higher doublet rates.
On the Nadia Innovate and Nadia Go, stirring of cells and beads can be controlled individually, and stirring speeds can be changed dependent on cell and/or bead densities and properties.
Pressure
Precise pressure control of 3 independent channels up to 1 bar to ensure flexibility and precision of droplet formation.
Adjust presures of individual inputs to achieve optimal droplet formation to suit the cell size, buffer composition and viscosity, or bead material of the experiment.
The Nadia Innovate is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Its versatility has allowed us to optimize parameters to reduce droplet volumes, increase capture rates and ultimately concentrate the RNA. Together this has resulted in a better insight of gene expression in each cell.
