detection is equally precise since each sample rotates past the excitation and detection optics. This
unique design delivers sensitive and fast PCR analysis and eliminates the variation that typically
occurs in block-based cyclers. With up to 6 channels spanning UV to infrared wavelengths, the
Rotor-Gene Q
Rotor-Gene Q delivers the greatest optical range of any real-time cycler. Interchangeable rotors
enable analysis in different sample volumes and tube formats, which are all fully supported by the
QIAgility (page 7) for automated PCR setup.
With the Rotor-Gene Q, you have the choice of a broad range of proven QIAGEN kits and assays
for gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, veterinary diagnostics, genotyping, epigenetics,
and miRNA research. Advanced instrument design enables performance of demanding
