Automation Solution for Performing DNA Extraction and PCR Plate Setup

iQ-Check® Prep Solution

The iQ-Check Prep Solution is a liquid handling platform performing DNA extraction and PCR plate setup. It is designed for use with our full range of iQ-Check Food Pathogen Detection Kits and the CFX96 Touch™ Deep Well Real-Time PCR Detection System and provides a completely integrated automated solution for food pathogen testing.

Optimal ease of use and traceability is achieved by using the CFX Manager™ Software, Industrial Diagnostic Edition (IDE).

The iQ-Check Prep Solution provides increased confidence, high reproducibility, and robustness to routine testing laboratories. It fits seamlessly in laboratory workflows and is an ideal solution for medium- to high-throughput testing labs.
