Hardware

The Bio-Rad QX200 Droplet Digital PCR system provides high-sensitivity, reproducible absolute quantification of nucleic acids. The system partitions samples into thousands of nanoliter-sized droplets, each acting as an independent PCR reaction, significantly reducing variability and increasing detection accuracy. This setup includes the QX200 Droplet Generator for droplet formation, the C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler for PCR amplification, and the PX1 Plate Sealer for secure sample handling. Together, these modules form a robust workflow for applications including rare mutation detection, copy number variation analysis, and gene expression profiling.

Software / Upgrade / OS / Applications / Worklist

The system operates with Bio-Rad’s QuantaSoft software, which provides intuitive control over droplet generation, PCR cycling, and data analysis. Users can set up custom assays, monitor amplification efficiency, and calculate absolute nucleic acid concentrations without the need for standard curves. The software also supports multiplexing, advanced plotting, and automated reporting for streamlined workflows. Regular software updates may be available from the OEM to enhance compatibility and functionality.

Accessories

This listing includes the QX200 Droplet Generator, PX1 Plate Sealer, and C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler as part of the complete ddPCR system. For routine operation, compatible consumables such as droplet generation cartridges, gaskets, pipette tips, and PCR plates are required but not included in this listing. Optional accessories like automated droplet readers and additional sealing films can be used to expand throughput and maintain workflow efficiency. Buyers should verify compatibility of consumables with their applications.
