Overview
The QuantStudio 6 and 7 Flex real-time PCR systems are designed for versatility. Easily interchange between 96-well (0.1 and 0.2 mL) and 384-well formats. The systems can detect differences as small as 1.5-fold in singleplex reactions with 10 logs dynamic range. To help you to quickly adapt to changing requirements and protect your investment, the QuantStudio 6 system can be upgraded to a QuantStudio 7 system at any time.
The QuantStudio 7 Flex system can also run a TaqMan Array card (a 384-well card that enables the loading of 384 targets with 8 pipetting steps in less than 10 minutes).
Features
In addition to the common features of all QuantStudio systems, the QuantStudio 6 and 7 Flex systems offer:
