“Digital PCR has been somewhat of a revolution in the field of copy number analysis because of the resolution…What I like about the QIAcuity system is the simple and fast workflow and that you use less plastic tips and plates in the process which is good for the environment.”
“We recently ordered a QIAGEN dPCR platform, the QIAcuity, because we found it especially straightforward and fast. It can quantify eDNA from invasive species with more accuracy and sensitivity, independent of the amplification efficiency.”
“With the new, high-throughput QIAcuity Eight, we were able to detect new variants of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater samples successfully”
“The QIAcuity dPCR instrument allows us to consistently detect and quantify microorganisms in soil, rock and water. ”
“Our lab loves using the QIAcuity digital PCR system for absolute quantification of targets from a wide range of samples. The workflow is straightforward, easy to learn, and generates incredibly consistent and sensitive results.”
“One of our top RNA biomarkers that we have identified in early cancer signature is not highly expressed. QIAcuity essentially gave us this 1000-fold sensitivity boost that we needed.”
“[With the QIAcuity], hands-on time is vastly reduced. This is because the QIAcuity divides the sample into thousands of partitions in a nanoplate, and does the PCR and imaging steps all in one machine…Using a multiplex dPCR assay, we can now detect and quantify the fraction of intact HIV DNA in our samples.”
“The biggest advantage of QIAcuity is that it is easy to use. Other products require more hands-on time and the protocols are complicated. Best of all, results are available within two hours…Because of its high sensitivity, QIAcuity is especially useful when studying parasites since parasite nucleic acid can be present in very low amounts in a sample.”
