PRODUCT INFORMATION


    Keeping a firm ‘GRASP’ on the RT-PCR workflow

    HYRIS™ bCUBE™, a palm-sized device which is capable of running RT-PCR as well as data reporting is now available. With wifi-connectivity, this plug-and-play device handles RT-PCR workflow within 2 hours anywhere at any time. Ideal for remote locations.

    bCUBETM is a palm-size device which runs real-time RT-PCR as well as analyzing data within 90 minutes. It has a maximum of 36 samples loading capacity and is fully plug-and-play with no calibration or technical installation required beforehand. This highly modernized item also has a wireless network connection and two integrated user-friendly apps (HYRIS bAPPTM and bDATATM). Last but not least, bCUBE bears CE and IVD certification and is used with the corresponding PCR kit (bKITTM, check our corresponding COVID-19 solution page for more details!).

    • Fitting on the palm of one hand: 100x100x120 mm
    • Real-time RT-PCR device weighting around 1kg
    • Able to run PCR, Isothermal amplification and melting curves
    • Auto-adaptive thermal control that sweeps from very fast (thermal cycling) to very slow ramps (melting curves)
    • High-speed detection enables high-resolution melting curves (sampling < 0.05°C)
    • 2 or 3 wavelengths detection
    • Supporting Wifi-connection, plug-and-play

    How many samples can you run on bCUBETM?

    Two sizes of well plates are available: 16 and 36, so a maximum of 16 or 36 samples can be loaded per run.

    Is bCUBETM an open system? Can we run other kits on it rather than bKITTM?

    Yes, bCUBETM can run other brands of PCR kits; however, a protocol needs to be developed prior to the best performance.

    How do we control/operate bCUBETM, is there a separate platform to use?

    The device can be connected to computers or even phones/tablets (which have bAppTM installed) via Ethernet or Wifi. The software bAppTM will be used to operate the device.

    Where do we interpret the data?

    Users can simply review all data on bAppTM and will be able to export them anytime they want.

    How many fluorescent channels does bCUBETM have? What wavelength does it detect?

    It has two channels and can detect wavelengths at 524 and 572 nm.
