The QIAsymphony SP is intended to be used only in combination with QIAsymphony Kits indicated for use with the QIAsymphony SP for the applications described in the kit handbooks. If used in combination with QIAGEN kits indicated for use with the QIAsymphony AS instrument, the QIAsymphony AS is intended for the applications described in the respective QIAGEN kit handbooks. If the QIAsymphony AS instrument is used with kits other than QIAGEN kits, it is the user's responsibility to validate the performance of such product combination for any particular application. The Rotor-Gene Q, if used in combination with QIAGEN kits indicated for use with the Rotor-Gene Q instrument, is intended for the applications described in the respective QIAGEN kits handbooks. If the Rotor-Gene Q instrument is used with kits other than QIAGEN kits, it is the user's responsibility to validate the performance of such product combination for any particular application..
Integrated Sample-to-Result AutomationThe QIAsymphony RGQ automates the entire workflow from sample preparation to real-time PCR analysis, minimizing manual intervention and hands-on time. Its pre-filled reagent cartridges and intuitive graphical user interface streamline processing, allowing lab staff to focus on data interpretation and report generation instead of repetitive tasks.
Advanced Contamination Control and SafetyWith HEPA-filtered air, UV decontamination, dedicated work zones, and automated safety features-including emergency stop and interlocked doors-the system keeps both users and samples secure while maintaining high-quality results. Every process is tracked with integrated barcoding and process controls for maximum traceability.
Flexible High-Throughput PerformanceSupporting up to 96 samples per run and a wide range of biological fluids, the QIAsymphony RGQ is suited for large-volume testing and research applications. Its multiplexing capability (up to 6 optical channels) enables the simultaneous detection of multiple targets, making it ideal for complex pathogen, genotyping, and gene expression assays.
