Qiagen EZ1 Advanced XL v1.1

Overview

The Qiagen EZ1 Advanced XL CDC COVID-19 RT-PCR is part of the CDC COVID-19 RT-PCR protocols that include the following functionality.

• Preconfigured CDC COVID-19 RT-PCR protocols that support the preparation of upper and lower respiratory specimens for real-time RT-PCR qualitative detection of nucleic acid from the 2019-nCoV.

• Automated calculation of sample and buffer volumes.

• Automated calculation or display of reagents at every step in the protocol.

• Automatic step transition when required.

• Automatic placement of samples when necessary.

• Automated assignment of QC Pass/Fail, based on user-selected threshold values.
