Automated Pipetting Station QIAgility - Perfect Condition

Automated PCR Preparation: QIAgility™ for Enhanced Precision and Productivity

The QIAgility™, developed by Qiagen, is an automated pipetting solution designed to simplify and standardize PCR setup while maximizing accuracy and reproducibility. This compact benchtop system meets the demands of molecular biology laboratories seeking a streamlined, safe, and reliable workflow.

Equipped with a software-controlled single-channel pipetting arm, the QIAgility handles volumes ranging from 1 to 200 µl and features dynamic liquid level detection. This technology ensures ultra-precise reagent dispensing—even in low-volume tubes—while significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination. As a result, users benefit from perfectly reproducible dilution series and a complete elimination of human error associated with manual pipetting.

Thanks to an intuitive software interface, no extensive training is required: protocols are guided step-by-step, and virtual simulation modes allow for dry runs without consuming reagents. The device can prepare up to 96 PCR reactions in just 17 minutes, freeing up valuable lab time for other critical tasks.

Highly versatile, the QIAgility is compatible with most common PCR tube and plate formats, including 96-/384-well plates and Rotor-Disc™ formats. It supports a wide range of applications such as concentration normalization, serial dilutions, format transfers, and the preparation of complex reaction mixes.

For enhanced safety, the QIAgility includes a lid-open detection sensor, and offers optional HEPA filtration with positive pressure and UV decontamination lamp for clean workspace conditions. Detailed protocol reports are automatically generated to ensure optimal traceability.

The QIAgility™ is an essential tool for automating and securing PCR workflows, enhancing both laboratory productivity and sample integrity in research and diagnostic settings.
