Hardware

The Agilent AriaMx Real-Time PCR System is a high-performance thermal cycler designed for quantitative PCR (qPCR) applications in clinical and research laboratories. The system features a 96-well 0.2ml block with ±0.1°C temperature accuracy and ±0.5°C uniformity across all wells, ensuring precise and reproducible amplification cycles. The thermal cycler employs a Peltier-based heating/cooling system with a dynamic range of 4°C to 105°C and a maximum ramp rate of 4.5°C/second, enabling rapid cycling protocols. The optical system utilizes a high-efficiency LED excitation source with five detection channels (FAM/SYBR Green, HEX/VIC/JOE, ROX/Cal Orange 560, Cy5, Cy5.5) for multiplexing applications. The instrument includes a user-friendly touchscreen interface and supports both USB and RS232 connectivity for data transfer and remote operation. The compact benchtop design (43.2cm W x 48.3cm D x 35.6cm H) and 40kg weight facilitate easy integration into standard laboratory workflows.

Software / Upgrade / OS / Applications / Worklist

The Agilent AriaMx Real-Time PCR System is powered by Agilent Aria 1.7 software, a comprehensive, FDA 21 CFR Part 11-compliant platform designed for real-time PCR data acquisition, analysis, and reporting. The software supports both absolute and relative quantification methods, including standard curve, comparative Ct (ΔΔCt), and melting curve analysis. Key features include multi-user login with role-based access control, audit trail for compliance tracking, and real-time data visualization with customizable plot configurations. The software enables seamless integration with laboratory information systems (LIS) and electronic health records (EHR) via HL7 or CSV export formats, facilitating data sharing and compliance with clinical workflows. Advanced functionalities include thermal gradient optimization for primer design, automated baseline and threshold settings, and support for high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis.
