  • Patent number: 11344892
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a digital PCR system. The system includes a droplet formation assembly and a droplet orifice assembly. The droplet formation assembly includes a heat conducting plate and a cover plate, at least one inverted U-shaped step is placed on a side surface of the cover plate, the heat conducting plate, the cover plate and the inverted U-shaped step together form a droplet formation chamber having an opening at a bottom. The droplet orifice assembly is connected below the droplet formation assembly, and includes a plurality of droplet orifices, the droplet orifice is connected with the droplet formation chamber, and a vaporization component is placed in the droplet orifice, the vaporization component vaporizes a digital PCR solution in the droplet orifice and rapidly pushes the digital PCR solution into a droplet forming oil in the droplet formation chamber, to form a digital PCR droplet.

  • Publication number: 20210362158
    Abstract: A digital PCR system has at least one droplet forming assembly and a droplet spraying hole assembly. The droplet forming assembly has at least one droplet collecting tank; the droplet spraying hole assembly is connected below the droplet forming assembly. The droplet spraying hole assembly has a plurality of droplet spraying holes in communication with the droplet collecting tank. Vaporization parts are provided in the droplet spraying holes and used for vaporizing digital PCR solution liquid layers in the droplet spraying holes and quickly pushing the vaporized digital PCR solution liquid layers into droplet forming oil in the droplet collecting tank to form digital PCR droplets.

  • Publication number: 20210220831
    Abstract: A digital PCR system includes a droplet formation assembly and a droplet ejection hole assembly, the droplet ejection hole assembly being connected below the droplet formation assembly. The droplet formation assembly includes a cover plate and at least one annular step connected to a lower surface of the cover plate, and the droplet ejection hole assembly has a plurality of droplet ejection holes. The upper surface of the droplet ejection hole assembly, the lower surface of the cover plate and the annular step jointly enclose to form a droplet formation chamber. A vaporization component is provided within the droplet ejection holes, being used for vaporizing a liquid layer of a digital PCR solution in the droplet ejection holes and quickly pushing same into droplet formation oil in the droplet formation chamber so as to form digital PCR droplets.
