Fully compatible with TaqMan Array Microfluidic Cards

TaqMan Assays for real-time PCR analysis provide maximum sensitivity and specificity, and broad dynamic range.

TaqMan Array–ready
Hundreds of customizable and predefined TaqMan Array Microfluidic Cards are available, containing preloaded TaqMan® Gene Expression or MicroRNA Assays in an easy-to-use format. You can analyze 1–8 samples in parallel using your choice of 12–384 TaqMan® Assays.

384-well throughput without robotics
With TaqMan Array Microfluidic Cards, there’s no need for liquid-handling robotics or complex pipetting to load. Simply add your sample and master mix to the eight input ports, centrifuge briefly, and run on the ViiA 7 System.

Compatible with the full range of TaqMan Assays
The ViiA 7 System is optimized to enable, clear, clean data for all TaqMan Assays, including Gene Expression, MicroRNA, SNP, Copy Number, Protein, Non-coding, and Pri-miRNA Assays.

New OptiFlex System for unsurpassed accuracy

Featuring the OptiFlex system, the ViiA 7 System provides enhanced fluorescence detection, enabling more accurate and sensitive data analysis than other available systems.

Better accuracy
High-resolution detection system for more accurate reads with TaqMan Array Microfluidic Cards, 384-well plates, and 96-well plates

Maximum multiplexing
Six decoupled excitation and emission filter channels for the greatest number of dye combinations and maximum multiplexing capabilities

Flexible data collection
Multiple ramp-method detection formats provide more flexibility for collecting data during a temperature ramp stage

Precise quantification
Detect target quantity changes as small as 1.5-fold in singleplex reactions
