Qiagen QIAcuity Eight Digital PCR System Unit 3 with Multiplex Nanoplate Workflow

The Qiagen QIAcuity Eight Digital PCR System Unit 3 is a sophisticated benchtop digital PCR (dPCR) instrument designed for absolute quantification of nucleic acids through partition-based endpoint detection. It integrates thermal cycling, high-sensitivity fluorescence imaging, and automated partition analysis into a single, high-throughput platform.

Key technical features include:

• Nanoplate capacity: Processes 8 nanoplate assays simultaneously (compatible with 8-, 24-, 96-well Nanoplates).
• Multiplexing capability: Supports up to 5-plex multiplex assays with five discrete fluorescence detection channels (Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Crimson).
• Excitation source & detection: Employs a high-power white LED with 4750 lumens and a 6.3-megapixel CMOS camera for precise image acquisition and fluorescence quantification.
• Thermocycling: Two integrated thermal cyclers provide accurate temperature control with ±1°C accuracy and homogeneity from 40°C to 99°C, with ~3°C/sec ramp rate, optimized for sensitive and reproducible dPCR reactions.
• Throughput: Capable of processing up to 1248 samples per day using 96-well Nanoplates or 312 samples using 24-well Nanoplates, suitable for large-scale molecular diagnostics and biotechnology workflows.
• Sample input: Designed for low sample volume digital PCR assays, enabling high precision rare variant detection, copy number variation analysis, gene expression, viral load quantification, and pathogen detection in oncology, infectious disease, and molecular biology research.

The system delivers absolute nucleic acid quantification without the need for standard curves, critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing applications, and is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its automated workflow and compact design minimize hands-on time and enhance laboratory efficiency.

Additional highlights:

• Pre-owned unit fully tested with verified startup/shutdown, software communication, plate handling, sensor, and extended self-tests.
