QXDx Droplet Reader #12008020

Use the QXDx Droplet Reader, part of both the QXDx ddPCR System and QXDx AutoDG ddPCR System — Bio-Rad's Droplet Digital Systems cleared for use in a regulatory environment — to achieve precise quantitation of target DNA or RNA in a wide variety of in vitro diagnostics (IVD)* applications. The QXDx Droplet Reader is used to count PCR-positive and PCR-negative droplets in the digital PCR workflow.

Note: Until the phasing in of its proprietary name, this product will be available under the registered name QX200 Droplet Reader, IVD. Find out more.

Features and Benefits

• FDA-cleared — quality product with great sensitivity and reproducibility
• Absolute quantification — absolute count of target DNA copies per input without the need for standard curves
• Highest precision and sensitivity — enriched template concentration in target-positive droplets enabling higher precision and sensitivity than quantitative PCR (qPCR)
• High throughput — simple and easy-to-use workflow with 96-reaction throughput
• Removal of PCR efficiency bias — error rates are reduced by removing the reliance on amplification efficiency of qPCR due to high tolerance of PCR inhibitors
