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 andQX200 Droplet Digital PCR Systems
A single AutoDG Instrument can supply 45 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 validatedPrimePCR 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
The QX200 AutoDG Droplet Digital PCR System requires the use of the PTC Tempo Deepwell Thermal Cycler orC1000 Touch Thermal Cycler with 96Deep Well Reaction Module and thePX1 PCR Plate Sealer.

The AutoDG Instrument partitions each sample in a 96-well PCR plate into ~20,000 uniform nanoliter-sized droplets in which nucleic acid molecules are randomly distributed. Every droplet serves as an individual PCR reaction in Bio-Rads Droplet Digital (ddPCR) PCR System. After partitioning, the plate is sealed with the PX1 Plate Sealer, and PCR is run to end point in a thermal cycler. The droplets in each sample can then be analyzed using a QX600 or QX200 Droplet Reader.

Eliminates user-to-user variability creates more consistent droplet counts across users and plates, enabling you to fully exploit the precision of your ddPCR System
Minimizes hands-on time takes less than 5 minutes to load the instrument, and droplet generation requires no supervision
