The Naica Crystal Digital PCR is Stilla's next generation technology for the absolute quantification of nucleic acids. Using advanced micro fluidic innovations, this technology integrates the digital PCR process into a single consumable.

The sample is first injected through a network of microchannels and partitioned into a large 2D series of 30,000 individual droplets, also called crystal droplets. The PCR is then performed on a chip which is then digitized to reveal the droplets that contain amplified targets. The final step is to count the number of these positive droplets to accurately extract the absolute amount of nucleic acids.

​

With Naica Crystal Digital PCR, the combination of powerful image analysis and intuitive visual inspection offers unparalleled confidence in the digital pcr measurement, generating data you can trust.
