Applications of the QX600 Droplet Reader

The QX600 Droplet Reader enhances a wide variety of applications, including: oncology research, gene expression, next generation sequencing (NGS) orthogonal testing, cell and gene therapy, food and wastewater testing.

  • Oncology research — The QX600 System collects more information per well, preserving precious circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tumor samples.
    • Structural variant analysis
    • Rare variant detection
    • Copy number variation
    • Methylation detection
    • Loss of heterozygosity
  • Gene Expression — Employ the extreme precision of the QX600 System to quantify small-fold changes in low abundance RNA molecules.
  • Next generation sequencing (NGS) orthogonal testing — With the QX600 System perform accurate quantification and qualification of NGS libraries without the use of a standard curves.
  • Cell and gene therapy — Accelerate therapeutics discovery with highly-advanced multiplexing afforded by the QX600 System.
    • Residual DNA detection in biologics
    • Genome edit confirmation
  • Food testing — Use the QX600 System to perform routine evaluation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and pathogen contamination detection.
  • Wastewater testing — Leverage the QX600 System to perform population-wide monitoring of established and emerging pathogens.

Additional Instruments

The QX600 Droplet Digital PCR System requires the use of the C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler with 96–Deep Well Reaction Module and the PX1 PCR Plate Sealer.
