Overview
The QX600 AutoDG Droplet Digital PCR System (ddPCR) offers workflow automation, delivers advanced six-color multiplexing, and absolute quantification of nucleic acid without sacrificing the best-in-class performance you have come to expect from Bio-Rad’s ddPCR systems.
The AutoDG Instrument eliminates user-to-user variability, allowing you to fully exploit the precision of ddPCR technology by providing more consistent droplet counts across users and plates. The AutoDG Instrument also minimizes hands-on time — it takes less than 5 minutes to load the instrument, and no supervision or user activity is required during droplet generation.
