Description
Description
The QX200 AutoDG Droplet Digital PCR System provides absolute quantification of target DNA or RNA molecules for EvaGreen and probe-based Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) applications. The Automated Droplet Generator simplifies the ddPCR workflow, making digital PCR both scalable and practical.
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.
Features and Benefits of the QX200 AutoDG Droplet Digital PCR System
Automated Droplet Generator — simplifies the ddPCR workflow and offers flexibility:
- Generates droplets for 96 ddPCR reactions in under 45 minutes
- Compatible with both the QX100 and QX200 Droplet Digital PCR Systems
- A single AutoDG Instrument can supply 4–5 Droplet Readers continuously
- Guides setup and loading with large, color touch-screen interface and LED lighting
- User-definable plate layout with increments of 8 wells provides run-to-run flexibility
- HEPA-filtered enclosure reduces the possibility of contamination and allows the system to be placed in any lab environment
Droplet Digital PCR Technology — the most precise and sensitive digital PCR solution for a wide variety of applications, providing:
- Flexible digital PCR chemistry — optimized for TaqMan Hydrolysis Probe and EvaGreen Assays
- Nanoliter droplet partitioning — reduces bias from amplification efficiency differences and PCR inhibitors
- Convenient assay design — standard curves are not required
Applications of the QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System
- Cancer biomarker studies and copy number variation — measure varying degrees of cancer mutations, detect rare DNA target copies, and resolve copy number variation states with superior sensitivity and resolution. Predesigned, wet-lab validated PrimePCR ddPCR Assays are now available for mutation and copy number detection.
- Pathogen detection — employ the extreme precision of the QX200 System to quantify small fold changes in target DNA or RNA molecules in pathogen detection and monitoring
- Next generation sequencing — perform absolute quantification of an NGS library without the use of a standard curve
- Gene expression analysis — achieve reliable and reproducible measurements of small fold changes for low-abundance mRNA and miRNA
- Environmental monitoring — test a wide variety of environmental samples such as soil and water
- Food testing — perform routine evaluation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) using validated ddPCR methods
