Introduction
QIAsphere connects users with QIAGEN’s comprehensive digital ecosystem to deliver a
unique user experience and improve laboratory efficiency and safety through cloud-based
connectivity. The QIAsphere Base (IoT
*
gateway device) of the QIAsphere Connectivity
Package connects QIAsphere-ready instruments to the QIAsphere App running on mobile
devices or desktop PCs, enabling the user for an increasing number of applications such as
remote instrument monitoring.
QIAsphere can be set up in the cloud-connected mode (cloud mode) or within your local
network (local mode). In the cloud mode, you make the most out of your QIAsphere
experience:
Stay connected
– Monitor your instrument(s) while being network independent in cloud
mode. QIAsphere App can access the QIAsphere Cloud from anywhere, whereas local
mode can only be used if the QIAsphere Base with associated instruments and App are
within the same local network.
Monitor instrument status with mobile devices or from desktop PC
– In addition to the
mobile app for iOS and Android devices, a web app version can be launched on PCs to
monitor instruments from your desktop in cloud mode.
Full walk-away convenience
– Keep track of instrument status, e.g., run complete,
through push notifications in cloud mode which is not available in local mode.
Connect to multiple QIAsphere Bases
– Monitor instruments in your QIAsphere App that
are connected to different local networks and QIAsphere Bases at the same time using
cloud mode. In the local mode, only one QIAsphere Base can be connected to your
QIAsphere App at a time. Hence, only the information of the instrument being connected
to that one QIAsphere Base can be accessed.
