Digital PCR workflow and products

The QIAcuity Digital PCR System is a microfluidic nanoplate-based digital PCR (dPCR) platform that enables all the necessary steps for dPCR - partitioning, thermal cycling, and imaging/data acquisition - on a single instrument.

QIAcuity advantages

How does QIAcuity work?

Just like in qPCR experiments, sample preparation includes the transfer of master mix, probes and primers to a 96- or 24-well nanoplate, followed by the addition of samples. The system integrates partitioning, thermocycling and imaging into a single fully automated instrument that takes users from the sample to result in under 2 hours. One can perform analysis on the Software Suite, providing the concentration in copies per microliter of your target sequence as well as for quality control such as positive samples or NTC. This analysis can also be extended to remote computers within the same local area network (LAN).
