Qiagen PyroMark Q24

This used Qiagen PyroMark Q24 is a pyrosequencing instrument designed for rapid, sequence based analysis of DNA methylation, SNPs, and short sequence variants. It processes up to 24 samples per run, using real time sequencing by synthesis to generate quantitative, sequence level data rather than simple presence or absence calls. The unit has been kept in regular laboratory use and is offered here in working condition. PyroMark Q24 systems are commonly used in epigenetics research, mutation detection, and microbial identification work where accurate quantification of variant frequency matters, such as in methylation percentage studies or low level mutation detection in tumor samples. The instrument pairs with Qiagen's PyroMark software for assay design and data interpretation, giving labs a complete workflow from primer design through reportable results. Its throughput and simplicity make it a practical mid volume solution for labs that do not need full NGS capacity for every assay. This used Q24 offers a cost effective way to add pyrosequencing capability to a molecular biology lab already running PCR based workflows. As with any used analytical instrument, buyers should plan to run their own control assays and verify calibration before relying on results for clinical or regulated reporting.
