BioRad QX200 Digital PCR System

Use the QX200 Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) system, the most precise and sensitive PCR solution, for absolute quantification of target DNA molecules.

Features of the QX200 Droplet Digital PCR system include:

Flexible digital PCR chemistry – optimized for TaqMan hydrolysis probe and EvaGreen applications
Reduced bias from amplification efficiency and PCR inhibitors
Flexible assay setup – scalable for high sensitivity or high throughput
Convenient assay design – standard curves are not required
Simple workflow with 96-sample throughput
The QX200 Droplet Digital PCR system comprises:
QX200™ droplet generator – partitions each ddPCR reaction mix into 20,000 nanoliter-sized droplets
QX200™ droplet reader – streams emulsified droplets in single file past a two-color optical detection system in a serial manner
QuantaSoft™ software – performs quantitation of positive/negative droplets and allows visualization in a variety of ways and determine concentrations in copies/µl
Associated components and consumables included: DG8™ cartridges, DG8™ gaskets, and cartridge holder

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. PrimePCR™ ddPCR Assays are now available for mutation and copy number detection. These are predesigned, wet-lab validated assays.
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 accurate quantification and qualification of NGS libraries without the use of a standard curve.
Gene expression analysis
Achieve reliable and reproducible measurements of small fold changes for low abundance of mRNA and miRNA.
Environmental monitoring
Test a wide variety of environmental samples like soil and water using the QX200 System.
Food testing
Perform routine evaluation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) using validated ddPCR methods.
