Overview
The QX700 S ddPCR System delivers a walkaway operation and qPCR-like time to result for processing 192 samples. It offers 7-color multiplexing with an independent thermal profile for each 16-well chip. The system is compatible with consumables uniquely designed for flexibility from bench-scale testing to high-throughput experiments for multiple users.
When to Choose the QX700 S System
The QX700 S System fills the gap between low- and high-throughput ddPCR solutions, supporting up to 192 samples per run—increasing beyond the QX700 E System's 48 without stepping up to the 384-sample QX700 HT System. Continuous loading and independent thermal control per 16-well cartridge give core facilities the scheduling flexibility multiple users need.

Common QX700 S System Applications
As a shared, multi-user platform, the QX700 S System supports a wide range of ddPCR applications across a core facility:
- Rare variant and mutation detection: support multiple groups screening low-frequency variants across shared oncology and biomarker projects
- Liquid biopsy analysis: scale ctDNA and cfDNA quantification across larger sample sets and multiple study timepoints
- Copy number variation (CNV): deliver reproducible CNV results across users and runs in a core facility
- Gene expression and miRNA: generate absolute expression data at mid-throughput for multiple research programs
Cell and gene therapy QC: support vector quantification and contaminant testing as cell and gene therapy programs expand3
