Polycapillary slides (PCS) are a modern analytical tool for parallel multiple (multiplex) analysis of complex substance compositions.
The use of PCS in analytical systems makes it possible to do without expensive, bulky optics. Such slides being the basis for biochips in sensor systems for various applications provide a highly sensitive, high-throughput and cost-effective biological analysis system.
It is possible to produce slides with a capillary diameter of 3 microns or more. Possible configurations of the PCS are round, square, rectangular, with a center hole, other configurations and different sizes according to customer requirements.
