Designed as a Qsep companion
Qamp Mini handles the PCR amplification step in PCR-based Qsep workflows — including ApoE genotyping (see the APOE workflow →), MDx test kits, and other point-of-care molecular applications. Pairs naturally with the Qsep1 for portable sample-to-answer; readout works with any Qsep instrument.
