QX200 Droplet Generator

Use the QX200 droplet generator to complete the first step of the Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) workflow by partitioning ddPCR reaction mix into 20,000 nanoliter-sized droplets for up to 8 samples per run. The droplet generator is used with the QX200 droplet reader for EvaGreen or probe-based digital PCR applications.

Associated components and consumables included: DG8 cartridges, DG8 gaskets, and cartridge holder
