Microfluidic vs batch methods
Microfluidic tools give you the ability to create high throughput droplets/particles using small volumes of reagents of several samples in parallel. They give more control over the mixing and temperature of fluids leading to a higher reproducibility of experiments.
Why the Nadia Instument?
With the Nadia Instrument users can:
- Produce uniform droplet and particles in a much more reproducible manner than mixing reagents using pipettes
- Precisely manipulate small volumes of fluids, producing large numbers of individually contained reaction vessels in a short period time
- Repeat the same reaction under the same conditions or perform separate experiments on the same sample in parallel
The impact on your research
You can do more experiments in a shorter time with higher reproducibility, reducing the amount of cost, time and resources required for biological research.
With Nadia researchers can follow pre-optimized processes, with standard protocols, or explore the versatile range of in-puts on our technology with ease, regardless of your level of knowledge in microfluidics.
I don’t think there is any other instrument that is so simple to use but with such a diverse range of applications

Compatible reagent kits
nadAROSE
The nadAROSE kit provides a simple, low-cost commercial solution for the encapsulation of single cells in individual agarose micro-scaffolds in a high throughput, reproducible manner on the Nadia instrument.
The nadAROSE kit is compatible with many downstream applications. The cell-containing agarose scaffolds are compatible with flow cytometry instruments and could also be used for cell-cell interaction studies, cell secretome studies or for microbiological cell culture.
The kit also provides the necessary reagents to release cells from their agarose scaffolds for further cell analysis or merging of workflows.
RNAdia
One solution to take you from cells to data.
With the RNAdia 2.0 kit for the Nadia Instrument, gain access to a hassle free, streamlined workflow, where you can create single cell and single nuclei libraries and analyse them, all in one place.
Single cell research doesn’t need to be a hassle.
The Nadia Instrument takes scRNA-Seq to the next level by using automation and flexibility to generate high quality reproducible single cell data at high throughput to assay tens of thousands of cells. Together with the RNAdia 2.0 reagent kit and its streamlined workflow, this becomes a low cost, high quality, complete workflow for single cell sequencing and single nuclei sequencing.
