OpenDrop V4 adopts a new modular format, and a circuit board cartridge equipped with a 14 x 8 electrode array and four CT type reservoirs is mounted on the main body (driver board + main board) for use. Please see the video by the manufacturer below.)
There is a 5.5mm high space between the cartridge and the driver board, where application-specific components such as Peltier elements for heating and cooling, electromagnets for magnetic beads and optical sensors for reaction measurement are arranged and used. can.
