Stilla Technologies software

Crystal Miner software automatically identifies positive and negative droplets in all the fluorescence channels of interest and measures the concentrations of targeted nucleic acids. With its intuitive visuals, Crystal Miner software eases the analysis of complex and highly multiplexed assays.

The heatmap visualization is a convenient analysis tool to delimit 2D zones. In heatmap visualization mode, the colormap represents the different droplet density levels in the fluorescence populations. Droplet densities are visualized utilizing a color gradient displayed on the second y axis. Low droplet densities are represented by shades of colours on the lower axis (light grey) while increasing droplet densities are color coded in shades of blue, green, yellow and red representing the highest droplet density.

An increasing number of laboratories are using electronic records and electronic signatures for exchanging and storing data. Electronic documentation offers many benefits, including increased efficiency and productivity when storing data and easier information sharing and data mining. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States (USA) regulates the food and drug industry of the USA with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The FDA is within the Department of Health and Human Services and manages the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

Crystal Digital PCR™, the next generation of DNA amplification, is based on a patented technology to partition the fully assembled PCR sample mix into thousands of individual reaction compartments prior to amplification, in a single step. Nucleic acid molecules are thus distributed across partitions, and amplified separately, alleviating any potential competition, and enabling absolute quantification of the DNA or RNA molecules.
