Description
The QX200 AutoDG Droplet Digital PCR System simplifies the Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) workflow, reducing hands-on time and eliminating user-to-user variability. The AutoDG Instrument brings scalability and flexibility to Bio-Rad’s ddPCR technology, the most precise and sensitive digital PCR solution for the absolute quantification of target DNA molecules.
- Eliminates user-to-user variability — creates more consistent droplet counts across users and plates, enabling you to fully exploit the precision of your ddPCR System
- Minimizes hands-on time — takes less than 5 minutes to load the instrument, and droplet generation requires no supervision
Features of the QX200 AutoDG Droplet Digital PCR system
AutoDG Instrument:
- Guides setup and loading with large, color touch-screen interface and LED lighting
- Compatible with both the QX100 and QX200 Droplet Digital PCR Systems
- Generates droplets for 96 ddPCR reactions in under 45 minutes
- One AutoDG Instrument can supply 4–5 droplet readers continuously
- HEPA-filtered enclosure reduces contamination and allows the system to be placed in any lab environment
- User-definable plate layout with increments of 8 wells provides run-to-run flexibility
Droplet Digital PCR Technology:
- Flexible digital PCR chemistry — optimized for TaqMan Hydrolysis Probe and EvaGreen Assays
- Droplet partitioning by the QX200 Droplet Digital PCR system reduces bias from amplification efficiency and PCR inhibitors
- Convenient assay design — standard curves are not required
