Product Details

Principle

The GeneRead QIAcube is designed to automate clonal amplification using the GeneRead Clonal Amp Q Kit. The GeneRead QIAcube controls integrated components, including a centrifuge, heated shaker, magnetic station, pipetting system and robotic gripper. The GeneRead QIAcube has been validated with the GeneReader NGS System.

Procedure

The GeneRead QIAcube instrument is operated via the integrated and intuitive GUI which allows you to select and run protocols and save data files. The user is guided step by step through the workdeck set-up and running of protocols. No additional user documentation is required.When the GeneRead QIAcube is running, the touchscreen displays information on protocol status and the remaining run time. The instrument allows for preparation of 4 library pools per run. Manual interactions are reduced to 40 min for template preparation of 4 library pools. By multiplexing the output capacity can be increased to up to 40 samples per run using 4 x 10 plex.

Applications

The GeneRead QIAcube is designed to automate the relevant steps of the template preparation for the GeneReader NGS System platform.
