The ARRALYZE advantages at a glance
The compartmentalization of cells, DNA and other biological materials for high throughput experiments are important techniques for many reasons and droplet technology has opened up many new approaches in this context in recent years. With ARRALYZE®, however, we are not only expanding the range of experiments that are possible today, but are also eliminating many of the disadvantages that droplet technology brings with it. The following table lists the main advantages of ARRALYZE® compared to droplet technology:
