Description
QIAstat-Dx simplifies infectious disease diagnostics so you can get faster results for your patients. All you need are a patient sample, a QIAstat-Dx assay cartridge and our intuitive QIAstat-Dx instrument. The QIAstat-Dx assay cartridges use multiplex real-time (RT) PCR technology – also known as syndromic testing – to quickly survey many different pathogens in a single patient sample. The cartridges come ready with all reagents preloaded and use our trusted assay chemistry to provide comprehensive results in about an hour. The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer 2.0 is our flexible modular system, perfect for labs of every size. Each instrument is made up of 1 Operational Module PRO, which contains the intuitive touchscreen interface, and between 1 to 4 Analytical Modules, letting you test up to 4 samples at once (see "A flexible modular setup to meet your needs"). Save time in the lab and streamline your testing with QIAstat-Dx connectivity, powered by QIAsphere*. With QIAsphere, you can: Remotely monitor your instruments in real-time and get test status updates sent to your mobile devices Access on-demand epidemiology reports to support your institution-wide surveillance efforts Reduce instrument downtime with remote troubleshooting and maintenance Visit our resource hub to learn how syndromic testing with QIAstat-Dx can help you provide the best care possible for your patients. *Some features require a QIAstat-Dx Connectivity plan. Flexible plans are available to meet your needs.
The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer 2.0, combined with QIAstat-Dx assay cartridges, use real-time PCR to detect pathogen nucleic acids in human biological samples. The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer 2.0 and cartridges are designed as closed systems that contain all necessary reagents, enabling hands-off sample preparation. Detected real-time amplification signals are interpreted by the integrated software and are reported via an intuitive user interface.
Setting up and running a QIAstat-Dx test requires minimal hands-on time and just a few simple steps (see "Multiplex panel testing doesn't get easier than this"). Add the patient sample to the main port of the QIAstat-Dx cartridge using the plastic pipette provided. This step is fast and easy to perform and requires no precision pipetting. Press the Run Test button on the QIAstat-Dx touch screen and scan the sample ID barcode. Scan the barcode of the cartridge you’re using. For our QIAstat-Dx Gastrointestinal Panel 2 test, select the sample type (Para-Pak C&S or FecalSwab). Position the cartridge on the instrument’s sample port. The cartridge will automatically move in and the test will start. After about an hour, view the comprehensive results.
