The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer, in combination with QIAstat-Dx assay cartridges, uses real-time PCR to detect pathogen nucleic acids in human biological samples. The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer and cartridges are designed as a closed system that enables hands-off sample preparation followed by detection and identification of pathogen nucleic acids. Samples are inserted into a QIAstat-Dx cartridge, which contains on board all the reagents necessary to isolate and amplify nucleic acids from the sample. Detected real-time amplification signals are interpreted by the integrated software and are reported via an intuitive user interface.
Now available is the QIAstat-Dx Respiratory Panel, a qualitative test to analyze 20 targets for common pathogens causing acute respiratory tract infections. This panel utilizes powerful QIAGEN sample and assay technologies, to deliver a true Sample to Insight solution.
