Full walk-away automation

Setting up a run on the MIRO CANVAS takes only 15 minutes. Simply pipette sample and reagents into the MIRO cartridge and walk away with confidence. The system fully automates all necessary steps, including thermal cycling and magnetic bead operations.

Up to 75 percent reduction in reagent use

MIRO CANVAS uses digital microfluidics technology to move droplets within the cartridge over an array of electrodes. This allows reagent volumes to be reduced by up to 75 percent for lower running costs.

One system for multiple NGS platforms

MIRO CANVAS offers verified NGS sample preparation protocols for both short- and long-read sequencing platforms. For long read sequencing, the technology used in MIRO CANVAS provides a gentle environment that is favorable for long DNA fragments.

Minimal training required

The large full-color onboard touchscreen on the MIRO CANVAS guides you through setting up a run. The system can sense when a reagent has been loaded and prompts you to move onto the next step.
