Transport Box QPAC, Demo

This inert replica from QIAGEN serves as a hands-on training and sales-demonstration tool, mirroring the deck geometry of the QPAC consumable carrier that loads into the QIAsymphony SP/AS “Reagents and Consumables” drawer. The polymer shell accepts up to 2 prefilled, sealed reagent cartridges in positions A1 and A2, an enzyme rack, disposable filter-tips (200 µL and 1500 µL) in tip-rack holders 1–17, and unit boxes (positions 1–4) carrying sample prep cartridges or 8-Rod Covers.

Because the unit carries no bar-coded reagent label, no fluids, and no active components, it can be passed between training rooms, sales benches, and pre-installation setup sessions without consuming kit inventory, contaminating a work area, or triggering an instrument inventory scan. Trainees use the replica to rehearse correct cartridge orientation, the piercing-lid placement step, the unit-box holder assignments, and the loading sequence the live instrument enforces (Waste → Eluate → Reagents → Sample) before they touch a real QIAsymphony SP or AS.

Dimensionally faithful to the operational transport box used in the QIAsymphony “Reagents and Consumables” drawer, the demo unit lets field-application specialists, customer-support staff, and trade-show presenters dry-run the workflow on a benchtop with confidence that hand-offs and slot assignments will match the production deck. Useful for end-user orientation, internal qualification exercises, and cartridge-based reagent demonstrations without burning a single kit, the replica provides realistic hands-on practice in a non-hazardous, single-piece form factor.
