QIAxpert System

For accelerated DNA, RNA, and protein quantification and quality control

QIAxpert is an innovative high-speed microfluidic UV/VIS spectrophotometer which profiles sample content to differentiate between DNA and RNA and sample impurities. QIAxpert is fast and easy to use, analyzing up to 16 samples within 2 minutes — just pipet samples onto the QIAxpert slide, place it into the reader, and select the pre-programmed method on the integrated touchscreen. QIAxpert is the right tool for any fast-paced lab performing nucleic acid quantification and quality control.

Features

• Quantify nucleic acids from up to 16 samples in less than 2 minutes.
• Discriminate between molecules of interest using unique spectral protocols.
• Determine specific amounts of DNA, RNA, and other contaminating fractions.
• Rapidly perform analyses via the intuitive, full-color integrated touchscreen.
• Generate comprehensive reports to view on any computer or smart device.

Principle

Flexibility and accuracy with QIAxpert Slides

QIAxpert uses disposable microfluidic slides to analyze up to 16 samples per run. On-board capillary intake and storage channels ensure easy sample loading with no cross-contamination, and allow unused positions to be used in later analyses. The capillary channels preserve samples and prevent evaporation. Thus, samples can be loaded and left at room temperature for up to 2 hours prior to readout. Constructed from advanced technical plastics that allow high optical transmission over the full UV/VIS spectrum, QIAxpert Slides enable highly accurate readings from just 2 µl of sample.
