Bio-Rad QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System with QX200 Droplet Generator, PX1 Plate Sealer & C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler

The Bio-Rad QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System is a comprehensive platform designed for highly sensitive and precise quantification of nucleic acids using advanced droplet digital PCR technology. This system includes:

• QX200 Droplet Generator: Capable of partitioning samples (20 µL input) into approximately 20,000 uniform nanoliter droplets per sample, processing up to 8 samples per cartridge, with a throughput of ~30 minutes per 96-well plate.
• QX200 Droplet Reader: Features multipixel photon counter detection and LED illumination across FAM (EvaGreen) and HEX (VIC) channels, offering a linear dynamic range spanning five orders of magnitude and precision of ±10%. It processes 1-96 samples per run, detecting roughly 1.5 million droplets per 96-well plate.
• PX1 PCR Plate Sealer: Ensures uniform sealing of PCR plates with rapid heat-up (<3 min) and adjustable sealing temperatures between 100–190 °C for 0.5 to 10 seconds, preventing contamination during thermal cycling.
• C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler with 96-Deep Well Reaction Module: Provides precise temperature control over a 0–100 °C range with ±0.2 °C accuracy and ±0.4 °C uniformity. Supports multiple sample formats (96 x 0.2 mL tubes, 48 x 0.5 mL tubes, or one 96-well plate) with a maximum ramp rate of 2.5 °C/sec. Housing >1,000 programmable protocols facilitates diverse PCR assay workflows.

This system is widely adopted in molecular diagnostics, biotechnology research, and clinical applications such as rare mutation detection, copy number variation (CNV) analysis, absolute nucleic acid quantification, liquid biopsy for cancer research, and pathogen detection. Its droplet partitioning and fluorescence-based detection enable enhanced sensitivity and reproducibility, making it essential for bioprocessing, gene editing, synthetic biology, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Key Features:

• Digital PCR technology with high sensitivity and accuracy for absolute quantification
• Precise droplet generation and detection with multiphoton readout
• Versatile thermal cycling compatible with multiple assay formats
• Reliable PX1 plate sealing for contamination-free handling
• Supports low to high-throughput workflows, suitable for complex molecular biology experiments
• Precision temperature control enhances reproducibility in molecular cloning, synthetic biology research, and molecular diagnostics workflows

The package includes the droplet reader, droplet generator, PX1 plate sealer, C1000 Touch thermal cycler, Bio-Rad software, and necessary communication cables. Note that consumables such as DG8 cartridge holders and assay kits must be sourced separately.

This pre-owned system is fully serviced, tested for performance, and sold with a warranty, supported by expert technical consultation, installation, and training options. It is ideal for laboratories engaged in advanced biotechnology research, live-cell analysis, biomedical engineering, and clinical diagnostics requiring precise and reliable digital PCR quantification.
