Qiagen QIAgility Benchtop Automated PCR Setup Instrument for Tube and Plate Formats

The Qiagen QIAgility is a compact benchtop automated PCR setup instrument engineered for rapid and high-precision preparation of PCR reactions. Designed for cutting-edge molecular biology and biotechnology workflows, this device supports a variety of tube and plate formats including Rotor-Discs for the Rotor-Gene Q platform, facilitating seamless integration into molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology pipelines.

Key technical features include:

• Single-channel pipetting head with volume capacity up to 1200 µl and high precision (CV <1% at 5–200 µl), essential for accurate reagent dispensing in end-point and real-time PCR assays.
• Integrated liquid-level sensing capable of detecting minimum volumes of 10 µl, enhancing reliability in automated pipetting protocols.
• A built-in HEPA filter system (dual-cartridge 3M Air-Mate) providing positive pressure clean air to minimize contamination — critical in bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows.
• Preinstalled UV lamp for worktable sterilization ensures reduced environmental contamination, supporting aseptic technique during PCR setup.
• Flexible 6-position SBS table for adapters and tip rack holders, accommodating diverse labware and increasing throughput efficiency.
• Operating temperature range from 15°C to 35°C and humidity tolerance of 40-70%, suitable for various environmental conditions found in biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics laboratories.
• Communication interfaces via USB and RS232 allow integration with laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for streamlined workflow automation.

Weighing approximately 49 kg and built with high-grade German manufacturing standards, the QIAgility is designed for consistent performance in high-demand biotechnology environments, including molecular cloning, gene editing, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. The system’s precise and automated liquid handling functionality makes it an essential tool widely adopted in synthetic biology research and molecular diagnostics, ensuring reproducible and contamination-free PCR setups.

Note: Power cables are not included with this used unit; it has passed preliminary operational testing and is in good working condition.

This PCR setup instrument is classified under harmonized code 9027.80.20, denoting its role as an electrical laboratory analytical apparatus tailored for advanced molecular biology and bioprocessing applications.
