QIAgility HEPA/UV Platform System FUL-1

QIAGEN offers this benchtop automated liquid-handling workstation designed for routine assay setup and reproducible plate preparation in molecular diagnostics and genomics laboratories. The instrument integrates HEPA filtration and programmable UV decontamination to limit aerosol and surface contamination during PCR/qPCR plate setup and other assay preparation workflows.

Standard 96‑well workflows are supported, and the system processes between 24 and 96 samples per run. Manufacturer specifications list dimensions of 540×630×450 mm (W × D × H), a weight of 41 kg, and power requirements of 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz, 250 VA with a 5 A fuse.

Typical applications include concentration normalisation, plate reformatting, dilution series generation, standard preparation, and PCR setup. Documented protocol examples include a 1‑step dilution (96 reactions in 28 minutes), a 1:1 transfer (96 reactions in 17 minutes), a 16‑step dilution (16 reactions in 7 minutes), a 6‑step dilution (6 reactions in 3 minutes), and master‑mix preparation with standard dilution (96 reactions in 41 minutes, with tip reuse up to 8 times).
