Product description
Qubit
™
Flex
Fluorometer
The Qubit
™
Flex Fluorometer is a benchtop fluorometer for the quantification of
DNA, RNA, microRNA, and protein. With the Qubit
™
Flex Fluorometer, you can
directly measure the fluorescence of up to 8 samples simultaneously using the
highly sensitive and accurate fluorescence-based Qubit
™
assays.
Features
•
Fast and highly accurate quantification of DNA, RNA, and protein of up to
8 samples simultaneously in ~3 seconds.
•
High levels of accuracy using only 1–20 µL of sample, even with very dilute
samples.
•
Use of dyes selective for dsDNA, RNA, or protein minimizes the effects of
contaminants in the sample.
•
Stores results from up to 10,000 samples.
•
8-inch, state-of-the-art color touchscreen for easy workflow navigation.
•
Instrument indicates samples that are in the extended range or out of range.
•
Saves sample data as a CSV (comma separated value) file.
•
On-board Reagent and Range Calculators provide instructions to prepare
Qubit
™
working solution using your sample and standard inputs and to select
the most accurate assay for your expected concentration range.
•
On-board Molarity and Normalization Calculators allow you to calculate
molarity of your samples based on nucleic acid length and determine how to
dilute the samples to the same concentration, respectively, using the results
from your assays.
•
Allows easy definition and saving of assay preferences.
•
Exports data to a USB drive, to a network drive, or to the Connect
™
cloud-based
platform.
•
Connects to the local area network via the LAN (RJ-45) port using an Ethernet
cable or wirelessly using the supplied Wi-Fi adaptor.
•
Instrument user interface can be personalized to display in the language of your
choice including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, simplified Chinese
and Japanese.
