Meet the QX700 ddPCR Family
One platform. Three ways to scale your ddPCR workflow.
Sensitivity. Simplicity. Performance.
See how the QX700 ddPCR system simplifies workflows while delivering the precision and sensitivity your research demands.
Advanced multiplexing meets simple, scalable workflows for any lab
The QX700TM family of Droplet DigitalTM PCR (ddPCRTM) Systems* brings advanced multiplexing and streamlined workflows together in one flexible platform. With three configurations designed to match your throughput needs, it’s easy to start, scale, and simplify your path to ddPCR solutions.
- Integrated workflow with minimal hands-on time
- High-sensitivity, absolute quantification you can trust
- Advanced multiplexing to get more from every sample
- Scalable configurations to match evolving lab needs
- Flexible throughput with continuous loading and random access (QX700 S and QX700 HT Systems)

Customer Testimonials
Elisa Masat
Principal Development Scientist | hVIVO
"So honestly, I’m impressed. I am a scientist and I have worked across all Europe, in many fields, in many laboratories. The scientific insight that you have provided, the scientific expertise that you provided to us, the fact that we could trust you in giving us the best advice—it was a great partnership."
Chris Forsdyke
Head of Laboratory Services, hVIVO
"The addition of the QX700 to hVivo is an important addition. We absolutely want to be a differentiator and be seen to be bringing new technology and new applications forward within the vaccine and, ultimately, the drug discovery space."
Beaven Ankner-Edelstein
Senior Research Associate | Kano Therapeutics
"You can get these absolute values and you don’t have to run a standard curve… and that has been really useful.”
Steffany Villasenor
Research Associate | Tevard Biosciences
“This has been a product that has really transformed the speed at which we can actually perform our assays.”
FAQ
The QX700 System supports a wide range of digital PCR applications, from oncology research (mutation detection, MRD) to infectious disease, gene expression, copy number variation (CNV), and environmental testing, including wastewater monitoring. It delivers high sensitivity and precision across both research and translational workflows.
While both systems deliver the accuracy and sensitivity of Droplet Digital PCR, the QX700 System is built for higher throughput, greater automation, and simpler workflows. You can process more samples in less time, reduce hands-on steps, and scale experiments with ease, which is ideal for labs looking to boost productivity.
The QX700 System is built for high-throughput workflows, processing up to 384 samples in ~2.5 hours (application dependent). You can accelerate timelines while maintaining data quality and reproducibility.
Yes. The QX700 System supports multi-user environments, making it well suited for shared labs and core facilities. With QX700 S and QX700 HT System configurations, users can prepare, load, and manage runs in parallel, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall workflow efficiency.
The QX700 System integrates automated droplet generation with streamlined software in a single workflow, reducing manual steps and potential for error. Its intuitive, end-to-end design moves you from sample to results faster, improving efficiency and consistency across runs.
