QIAcuity Digital PCR System from QIAGEN

Description

The QIAcuity Digital PCR System is designed to deliver precise and multiplexed quantification results for mutation detection, copy number variation (CNV), gene expression studies, gene-editing analysis, and many more. This nanoplate-based system seamlessly integrates a standard dPCR workflow of partitioning, thermocycling and imaging into a walk-away automated platform with minimal hands-on time. Further automation of the workflow may be reached by the integration of a pipetting robot, an automatic sealer, and a robotic arm, which is enabled by the QIAcuity Automation API.

The system is used in conjunction with the QIAcuity nanoplates, reagents and assays.
