September 8, 2010: QIAGEN NV has launched its highly flexible automated solution QIAsymphony RGQ® incorporating all workflow steps from sample to detection. QIAsymphony offers continuous loading, random access, open channels for user-developed tests, and a broad menu of commercial assays, as well as the ability to process an almost unlimited range of sample types for work in the emerging field of molecular diagnostics.
This new and complete workflow solution is comprised of modules that can be used as stand-alone systems or combined into a fully integrated system. The QIAsymphony RGQ system comprises the physical and data integration of the modules QIAsymphony SP for sample preparation, QIAsymphony AS for assay setup, and the Rotor-Gene® Q real time PCR thermocycler. QIAsymphony also provides a broad PCR-based assay menu, including the artus™ real time PCR kits for the detection of HIV, HCV, HBV, and a transplantation panel with CMV, EBV, HSV, VZV and BKV. A large pipeline of further tests will be launched in the coming months, including therascreen® EGFR, KRAS, as well as artus Influenza, CT, CT/Ng and an extended transplantation panel. Many more tests are in development as well as the ability to integrate detection options such as pyrosequencing, and multiplexing solutions.
