Minimize up-front capital investment
With one instrument, you can interchange between 96-well, 96-well Fast, and 384-well formats.

Skip the learning curve
The intuitive software, easy touch screen setup, and effortless block changes are designed to let you get started right away.

Achieve sensitivity and performance
Detect as small as 1.5-fold changes in singleplex reactions and 10 logs dynamic range.

Upgrade when you need it
The QuantStudio 6 Flex system can be seamlessly upgraded to a QuantStudio 7 Flex system by a field service engineer to give you additional automation, throughput, and multiplexing capabilities.
