Researchers performing sensitive applications such as copy number variation and rare target detection often find themselves struggling to identify faint genetic signals against a strong background, especially when it is a single positive lost in a dense pool of negatives.
Finding the rare allele or mutant sequence is a typical needle-in-a-haystack problem! By partitioning the sample into a large number of individual reactions, digital PCR makes it surprisingly easy to detect the single positive. In such instances, the lower limit of detection excludes standard real-time quantitative PCR as a viable solution.
AFMS partners with QIAGEN to empower you with everything you need to overcome real-time and digital PCR research application challenges.
The QIAcuity Digital PCR System is designed to deliver precise and multiplexed quantification results for mutation detection, copy number variation (CNV), gene expression studies, gene-editing analysis, and many more. This nanoplate-based system seamlessly integrates a standard dPCR workflow of partitioning, thermocycling and imaging into a walk-away automated platform with minimal hands-on time.
The system is used in conjunction with the QIAcuity nanoplates, reagents and assays

The QIAcuity Digital PCR System makes absolute quantification accessible and affordable for all laboratories. The walk-away automation integrates and streamlines the entire digital PCR workflow of partitioning, thermocycling and imaging into a single instrument with minimal hands-on time. It is also easy to adapt your current qPCR assays to the QIAcuity Digital PCR System. No change in plate handling is required when coming from qPCR, assuring fast assay setup and quick results in approx. 2 hours.
steps to have the dPCR result you want in approx. 2 hours:
Pipette and load,
Run the experiment,
Analyze results.
The QIAcuity instruments, together with the QIAcuity Nanoplates and the QIAcuity PCR kits, enable digital PCR applications, including:
The QIAcuity system comes in scalable instrument configurations with a single thermal cycler and a capacity to run up to 4 plates or a dual thermal cycler and a capacity to run up to 8 plates.
With the highest throughput digital PCR system ever, an 8-plate capacity allows up to 1248 samples to be analyzed in a single workday using a 96-well nanoplate.
