The whole purpose of the Design Polymer Concept is to enable read out technologies to perform rapid DNA analysis with superior quality and resolution, and after years of extensive research LingVitae is now developing its first series of Design Polymer products -DNA EXPLORER SYSTEM.

DNA EXPLORER SYSTEM is going to be a lab-on-a-disk based kit designed to convert biological DNA into synthetic Design Polymers. The intention is to provide read out companies with a powerful tool that enables them to obtain advanced "DNA molecules" designed solely for the purpose of single molecule sequencing. 

The first generation of the kit will consist of a conversion jig and a set of four conversion disks. It is intended to be very user-friendly, so that anyone with basic lab skills should be able to perform the conversion of nucleic acid in less than 24 hours.
 

DNA EXPLORER Fluidics Station 500

Fluidics Station 500 will be the 1st generation of fluidics stations for processing the Conversion Disks.

The Fluidics Station 500 will incorporate advanced design that provides improved ease-of-use and true walk away freedom to dramatically improve efficiency in the end-users genetic analysis. The system will run unattended until completion of a Conversion Disk, freeing the operator to attend to other responsibilities, thereby helping to improve the workflow and operation of the laboratory.

Total processing time per Conversion Disk will be 6 hours and the Fluidics Station 500 is designed to operate in environments running 2-4 daily runs per system. A total of 4 runs will be needed for whole genome conversion of a eukaryotic genome. No dedicated or special power requirements.

DNA EXPLORER Conversion Kit

The Conversion Kit will contain a series of 4 Conversion Disks (Disk 1-4) for the Conversion of 100 Gigabases of 24mers from a target material as well as reagents needed for DNA purification and initial handling of the sample material.

The Conversion Kit reagents will formulate into the fewest number of individual components possible, reducing preparation and handling steps. All of the reagents will be ready-to-use solutions.
