Generator Manufactured 2019

Reader Manufactured 2016

A laptop has been prepared with the QX Manager Software. We do not have the oil to test it but no errors or issues show up. 

The software shows that calibration of the QX200 is OK.

Please note that it takes about 15 minutes for the device to warm up before it can be used by the software.

Included in the sale:

• BIO-RAD QX200 Droplet Reader
• BIO-RAD Automated Droplet Generator
• Laptop with QX manager software
• Power supplies

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-Rad’s 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

Features and Benefits of the Automated Droplet Generator

Bio-Rad’s Automated Droplet Generator simplifies ddPCR workflow and makes digital PCR scalable and flexible:

• Guides setup and loading with large, color touch-screen interface and LED lighting
• Generates droplets for 96 ddPCR reactions in under 45 minutes
• One AutoDG Instrument can generate sufficient droplets to keep 4–5 droplet readers running continuously
• Provides operational flexibility:
• User-definable plate layout with increments of 8 wells
• HEPA-filtered enclosure reduces the possibility of contamination and allows the system to be placed in any lab environment
• Compatible with both QX600 and QX200 ddPCR workflows

Use the QX200 droplet reader to count PCR-positive and PCR-negative droplets with an optical detector and thereby complete the second step of the Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) workflow.

Droplets are sipped and the singulator unpacks the emulsified droplets and streams them in single file past a two-color optical detection system in a serial manner. Up to 96 samples can be processed per run. For EvaGreen or probe-based digital PCR applications.
