Automated QIAGEN QIAcuity Nanoplate setup for dPCR on the Hamilton STAR platform

Hamilton STAR automated liquid handling platform, a large benchtop instrument with enclosed frame and pipetting arm.

 

This application note presents an automated workflow for digital PCR assay setup using QIAGEN’s QIAcuity Nanoplate technology on the STAR platform. The method enables direct reagent mixing in the Nanoplate, eliminating pre-plate pipetting and improving overall workflow efficiency.

Key Highlights

  • Direct master mix and template combination in QIAcuity Nanoplates reduces hands-on time and contamination risk
  • Enhanced reproducibility and accuracy for detecting rare mutations and copy number variations
  • Streamlined setup saves time and consumables compared to manual workflows
