Automated PCR set-up

Click2Contact

The QIAgility is a compact benchtop instrument enabling automated PCR set-up in a wide range of formats.

The high precision of the QIAgility delivers reproducible results required for end-point and real-time PCR assays. Automated PCR set-up is rapid and reliable, eliminating manual pipetting steps that can be prone to human error. The unmatched versatility of the QIAgility means that almost all tube and plate formats are supported as well as Rotor-Discs for the Rotor-Gene Q.

The QIAgility is operated via a computer with easy-to-use software. Researchers can select a program, set up the worktable and walk away during PCR set-up. Samples are ready for immediate use in downstream applications. Dynamic liquid-level sensing enables the QIAgility to deliver high precision, standardised pipetting. The instrument senses the meniscus during each pipetting event and retracts the tip while dispensing, enhancing accuracy and minimising liquid carryover.

The advanced design of the QIAgility delivers improved process safety. A built-in sensor ensures that the instrument pauses when the hood is opened during a run, protecting users from moving parts. An optional UV light ensures effective worktable decontamination and an optional HEPA filter provides positive air pressure.
