Description
QIAcube Connect offers automation for over 80 QIAGEN kits with up to 12 samples per run. It was developed by five teams with members from Germany, Switzerland, UK, India and the USA. With it, QIAGEN now offers a breakthrough system with advanced digital capabilities and connectivity. It builds on the success of ~3000 QIAcube instruments that already allow research labs to fully automate and track their well-known QIAGEN spin-column protocols with just a push of a button.
