Design your multiplex experiment with confidence.

Running multiple dPCR assays in a single reaction saves time and sample - but only if the assays are actually compatible. Until now, there was no easy way to check. The new Multiplex Calculator gives you an instant, science-backed compatibility verdict for your selected assays, so you can build your experiment with confidence before placing an order.

1. Enter your assays and get an instant verdict

Select any combination of dPCR assays by catalog number and see compatibility results right away. The calculator checks up to 12-plex combinations and returns a clear pass, warning, or fail for your entire selection - no waiting, no spreadsheets, no manual cross-referencing.

2. Understand exactly why an assay combination works - or doesn't

Each result is broken down across five compatibility parameters: fluorophore compatibility, heterodimer formation, amplicon overlap, amplicon length difference, and portfolio compatibility. Every parameter gets its own green, yellow, or red indicator, so you know at a glance which aspect of the combination is at risk and why.

3. Pinpoint the conflict in seconds

When a conflict is detected, the calculator tells you exactly which assay is causing it. Click any assay chip to open a detailed view - showing per-parameter status, the specific failure reason, and the interacting partner. No guessing, no trial and error.

4. Covers three dPCR product lines

The calculator supports CNV, MutDet, and Microbial dPCR assays - and combinations thereof. Portfolio-level compatibility rules are applied automatically, so you'll be notified if an assay combination doesn't fit the QIAcuity multiplex constraints for your product type.
