FAQ-1519
How many samples can be run in parallel with the Rotor-Gene Q real-time PCR instrument?
The Rotor-Gene Q instrument can be used with two different rotor formats: using tubes or rotor-dics. Tubes can be run in 36 and 72-well rotors and rotor-discs in Rotor-Disc 72 and Rotor-Disc 100 rotors. When programming the temperature profile please make sure the correct rotor type is selected.

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 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 is our flexible modular system, perfect for labs of every size. Each instrument is made up of 1 Operational Module, which contains the intuitive touch-screen interface, and between 1 through 4 Analytical Modules, letting you test up to four samples at once (see “A flexible modular setup to meet your needs”). The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer condenses dozens of pathogen real-time PCR tests into one small benchtop unit.
You’ll save even more time with QIAstat-Dx connectivity, powered by QIAsphere*. With QIAstat-Dx connectivity, you can remotely monitor your instruments in real-time, receive proactive technical support and get on-demand epidemiology reports to support your institution-wide surveillance efforts. Simply install the QIAsphere app on your preferred tablet or smartphone or by accessing the QIAsphere web app through your laptop or desktop browser.
*Some features require a QIAstat-Dx Connectivity plan. Flexible plans are available to meet your needs.

QIAstat-Dx research
The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer, combined with QIAstat-Dx assay cartridges, uses real-time PCR to detect pathogen nucleic acids in human biological samples. The QIAstat-Dx Analyzer and cartridges are designed as a closed system that enables hands-off sample preparation followed by detection and identification of pathogen nucleic acids. Samples are inserted into a QIAstat-Dx cartridge, which contains all the reagents to isolate and amplify nucleic acids from the sample. Detected real-time amplification signals are interpreted by the integrated software and are reported via an intuitive user interface.
Available panels utilize powerful QIAGEN sample and assay technologies, to deliver true Sample to Insight processing of even the most challenging samples.
QIAstat-Dx Viral Vesicular Panel: The QIAstat-Dx Viral Vesicular Panel can be used to detect viral nucleic acid from transport media by real-time RT-PCR. This multiplex PCR syndromic cartridge detects and differentiates 8 targets - mpox virus (MPXV) clade I*, MPXV clade II, orthopoxvirus (OPXV), herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1, HSV-2, human herpes virus 6, enterovirus and varicella zoster virus. *MPXV clade I does not detect Ib samples, these samples will give a positive orthopoxvirus (OPXV) result.
