Qiagen QIAsymphony RGQ automated molecular testing system

QIAsymphony RGQ is a flexible automated solution for molecular testing. It incorporates all workflow steps from sample to detection.

QIAsymphony offers many features which create high flexibility, such as continuous loading, random access, open channels for user-developed tests, a broad menu of commercial assays as well as the ability to process an almost unlimited range of sample types. QIAsymphony thus provides laboratories with a system that transforms their work in the emerging field of molecular diagnostics.

This complete workflow solution comprises 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 set-up 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 BKV1.

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.
