Easy-to-use software QIAsymphony operating software guides the user through setting up a sample preparation or assay setup run in a step-by-step fashion, with options to select and adapt standardized protocols. Required volumes of buffers, reagents, master mix, and controls are automatically calculated and the user is informed of the number and type of consumables to be loaded. Transfer of sample loading information from the QIAsymphony SP to the QIAsymphony AS is convenient and reduces the number of steps required for assay definition, thus minimizing the risk of error and sample Sample...

Unrivalled application range on the QIAsymphony SP QIAsymphony Kits — backed by QIAGEN Quality® — increase laboratory efficiency since just a few kits in combination with optimized protocols cover an extensive range of starting materials and applications (Table 1). Sample volumes of up to 2 ml, and up to 50 mg of tissue or 107 cells can be processed, providing increased nucleic acid yields for gene expression and genomics applications and higher sensitivity in virology and microbiology applications. The QIAsymphony SP delivers pure performance in virus and bacteria applications and provides...

Transfer your purified samples directly to the QIAsymphony AS The QIAsymphony AS can simplify your routine work processes — even setting up complex PCR assays is fast and easy. Manual pipetting steps that are prone to human error are eliminated, so the QIAsymphony AS delivers more accurate pipetting on a day-to-day basis than even highly experienced laboratory staff (Figures 1 and 2). Pipetting of master mix and sample transfer for 96 samples takes less than 25 minutes, leaving you and your staff with more valuable time for other tasks. The QIAsymphony AS is provided with predefined...
