Instrument hardware description
Instrument overview
The QuantStudio
™
1 Plus Real-Time PCR System uses fluorescence-based polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) reagents to perform the following types of experiments:
• Quantitative detection of target nucleic acid sequences (targets)
• Qualitative detection of targets
• Qualitative analysis of the PCR product
For more information, see “Experiment types”
The instrument is configured with a 96-well 0.2-mL fixed block and a 4-color coupled filter set.
The instrument can be run directly from the touchscreen to create and start experiments. To design
experiments or to analyze data, the instrument can be integrated with the QuantStudio
™
Design and
Analysis SC Software v1.0.
The instrument can be used with the Thermo Fisher
™
Connect Platform.
