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: 

Interchangeable block format

Easily change the block from the front in less than a minute with no tools required 

Ability to 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, adding automation compatibility, and the workflow efficiencies of TaqMan Array cards.

Easy set up

The intuitive software, easy touch-screen setup, and block changes are designed to let you get started right away. 

Features that are unique to the QuantStudio 7 Flex system:

More block options

Interchangeable 96-well (0.1 and 0.2 mL), 384-well, plus TaqMan Array card blocks 

Automation compatible

Run hundreds of real-time PCR reactions effortlessly using the Thermo Scientific Orbitor RS2 Microplate Mover. The QuantStudio 7 Flex system can maximize your automated throughput capabilities. 

OptiFlex system
