Qubit

2.0
Fluorometer
The Qubit
®
2.0 Fluorometer is a benchtop fluorometer for the
quantitation of DNA, RNA, and protein, using the highly sensitive
and accurate fluorescence-based Qubit
™
quantitation assays. Use
of the state-of-the-art dyes selective for dsDNA, RNA, and protein
minimizes the effects of contaminants in your sample that affect
the quantitation. Further, the very latest illumination and
detection technologies used in the Qubit
®
2.0 Fluorometer for
attaining the highest sensitivity allow you to use as little as 1 μL of
sample and still achieve high levels of accuracy, even with very
dilute samples.
Features
Important features of the Qubit
®
2.0 Fluorometer are:
Provides a user-friendly, benchtop design for simple, fast, and
highly accurate quantitation of DNA, RNA, and protein in
less than 5 seconds per sample (with sample incubation times
of 2 minutes for DNA and RNA, and 15 minutes for proteins).
Uses the Qubit
™
assays that contain advanced dyes that only
fluoresce when bound to DNA, RNA, or protein. This
specificity allows you to get very accurate results because
Qubit
™
technology only reports the concentration of the
molecule of interest, not contaminants.
Uses disposable assay tubes that eliminate washing steps and
cross contamination between samples.
Presents comprehensive data with graphic reports and a .CSV
(comma separated value) file for sample comparisons.
