QIAstat-Dx research

• Intuitive workflow with minimal hands-on time
• Uses real-time PCR to deliver comprehensive results in about an hour
• Easily view Ct values and amplification curves for all detected pathogens
• No precision pipetting required and unique direct swab protocol for input into the cartridge
• QIAsphere-connected for real-time updates, proactive remote service and custom epidemiology reports

The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer, combined with QIAstat-Dx assay cartridges, uses real-time PCR to detect pathogen nucleic acids in human biological samples. The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer and cartridges are designed as a closed system that enables hands-off sample preparation followed by detection and identification of pathogen nucleic acids. Samples are inserted into a QIAstat-Dx cartridge, which contains all the reagents to isolate and amplify nucleic acids from the sample. Detected real-time amplification signals are interpreted by the integrated software and are reported via an intuitive user interface.

Available panels utilize powerful QIAGEN sample and assay technologies, to deliver true Sample to Insight processing of even the most challenging samples.

QIAstat-Dx Viral Vesicular Panel: The QIAstat-Dx Viral Vesicular Panel can be used to detect viral nucleic acid from transport media by real-time RT-PCR. This multiplex PCR syndromic cartridge detects and differentiates 8 targets - mpox virus (MPXV) clade I*, MPXV clade II, orthopoxvirus (OPXV), herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1, HSV-2, human herpes virus 6, enterovirus and varicella zoster virus.
 
*MPXV clade I does not detect Ib samples, these samples will give a positive orthopoxvirus (OPXV) result.

QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel: This version of our multiplex syndromic cartridge detects and differentiates 22 respiratory targets from nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS).
