Version 11
The Volume Precision Factor (VPF) offers a unique feature to secure precision of concentration results obtained from a QIAcuity dPCR run.
In general, Nanoplates provide partitions of fixed sizes that enable a very precise way of sample concentration calculation. Potential variation of partition sizes in Nanoplate batches, caused by different microstructure molding forms, can be addressed by applying the batch specific VPF. Furthermore, the VPF includes well-specific volume information and therefore further increases precision of concentration calculation in each well of the Nanoplates.

Notes d’application (12)
The QIAgility instrument is a liquid handler designed for automating PCR setup. For compatibility with the QIAcuity, we developed an adapter to secure up to two nanoplates onto the deck of the QIAgility. Using the QIAgility software, we have optimized a protocol that works for all nanoplate types and QIAcuity applications. Here we report the performance of a front end automated QIAgility dPCR nanoplate setup procedure for use with the QIAcuity dPCR system.
The QIAcuity digital PCR system combined with the QIAcuity One-Step Viral RT-PCR Kit enables precise detection and quantitation of vector-borne viruses in mosquitoes. The results presented in this comparison study showed that digital PCR is a powerful tool for absolute quantitation of low abundant targets and is a more reliable detection method than qPCR. Multiplexing allows detection and quantitation of multiple targets in a single reaction more efficiently by increasing sample throughput at a reduced cost per target.
Here, we present a workflow that combines two technologies, cellenONE and QIAcuity Digital PCR, which accelerate and streamline high-throughput analyses of target copy numbers in cultured cells. The workflow starts with detecting and sorting defined populations of cells as well as individual cells using cellenONE, followed by multiplexing dPCR on the QIAcuity platform. Copy number variations of target regions are then analyzed using the QIAcuity Software Suite, providing an intuitive and fast interpretation of results.
Digital PCR is a superior method to qPCR for the detection and absolute quantification of low concentration target templates. There are multiple digital PCR systems on the market that differ in numerous aspects including the amount of dead volume, which is the volume that is loaded but not analyzed by the given instrument. While it has been speculated that dead volume could impact the sensitivity of dPCR applications, here we provide data to support the conclusion that the most important factors in determining the relative sensitivity of each system are template addition volume and template analyzed volume. In summary, data provided herein demonstrate that higher template addition volumes can overcome any limitations that dead volume may have on the sensitivity of a dPCR application.
The goal of this work was to compare performance of quantitative PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) in the quantification of gene expression and Wolbachia abundances in Nasonia parasitoid wasps.
Here, we present a highly efficient, high-throughput workflow that combines two technologies, cellenONE and QIAcuity Digital PCR, to accurately analyze miRNAs in well-defined individual cells and populations of cells.
This study tested a workflow for quantitation and qualification of AAV samples using a duplex assay on the QIAcuity dPCR instrument targeting both an insert (GFP) and the viral backbone (AAV2-ITR). With very low intra-assay and inter-assay CVs <6.5%, we demonstrate one of the main benefits of dPCR: reproducibility.
Here we report the use of saliva samples in combination with dPCR as a suitable alternative to screen for individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Here we demonstrate how to optimize your assays on a microfluidic nanoplate-based digital PCR system, the QIAcuity, and provide recommendations for a seamless transfer. Moreover, the QIAcuity dPCR workflow is very similar to qPCR.
Here we compared the performance of qPCR and the nanoplate dPCR techniques. The digital PCR method on the QIAcuity significantly improved precision when measuring copy number states and sensitivity of mutation detection through absolute quantification and reduced standard error. This is advantageous in various applications, including copy number variation analysis, small fold-change and rare mutation detection.
With the cellenONE-QIAcuity workflow, we achieved high-throughput absolute quantification of low-abundance targets at the single-cell level. cellenONE’s single-cell isolation platform enabled real-time and 100% accurate single-cell isolation without compromising viability and transcript expression. This allowed us to use the exact number of intact cells for RT-dPCR reactions. Moreover, the elimination of the RNA purification step significantly reduced hands-on time, and QIAcuity’s probe-based chemistry allowed the multiplexing of up to five targets in a one-step RT-dPCR format with no or minimal optimization.
Here we provide an integrated rAAV genome titer method using the QIAcuity Digital PCR (dPCR) System with detailed parameters for high assay performance. Using this optimized method for pre-PCR handling of in-process rAAV samples, the results demonstrated that QIAcuity dPCR system generates the same level of accuracy and precision as the current gold standard ddPCR system but with much faster sample-to-result times (2 hours vs 7 hours) and higher overall throughput and scalability.
