QX200™ AutoDG™ Droplet Digital™ PCR System (1864100) by Bio-Rad

"This instrument was purchased for our analytical lab for the gene copy analysis of viral samples and other cell types. The customer service and technical service groups are fabulous. The results are robust and reliable. The run time for a 96-well plate (start to finish, excluding prep) will take from 7-10 hours. Though this is a longer run-time than qPCR, the results are more reliable and robust without the use of a standard curve. The equipment itself is a reliable workhorse."

"The import of consumables for Mexico is limited, which delays obtaining results and running projects."

"The QX200™ AutoDG™ Droplet Digital™ PCR System is an easy-to-use, highly intuitive and reliable tool for addressing various molecular genetic questions (SNP, CNV, Genome editing frequencies, Transcriptome analysis) with unprecedented accuracy, precision and reliability. The handling of the devices through the complete process convinces by it's simplicity and flexibility. Significant emphasis was put into the theoretical and practical training by BioRad representatives, making the user feeling comfortable and confident working initially with the system. The overall design is very convenient and combines applicability with smart solutions, like highly interactive touchscreen handling and light-based guidance in the system. Programming of experimental approaches is self-explanatory and follows an intuitive approach. Data evaluation allows various useful views and options to manually step in with output being displayed in a customized easy-to-understand way. Taken together, this system revolutionizes the analytical possibilities of scientists dealing with molecular biology. Both the performance of the device itself as well as the highly supportive and timely interaction with the customer support makes the QX200™ AutoDG™ Droplet Digital™ PCR System a perfect and strongly recommendable choice."
