Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 1 Real-Time PCR Instrument – ​​96-Well, 0.2 mL Block

The Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 1 Real-Time PCR Instrument is a compact and user-friendly real-time PCR system for qualitative and quantitative detection of nucleic acid sequences. The instrument features a fixed 96-well thermal block for 0.2 mL plates and an integrated 8.5-inch touchscreen for easy operation.

The system is equipped with three coupled fluorescence channels and supports a wide range of commonly used qPCR dyes, including FAM, SYBR Green, SYTO 9, VIC, HEX, TET, JOE, JUN, ROX, and Texas Red. This allows up to three targets to be detected simultaneously.

The QuantStudio 1 supports both standard PCR and Fast PCR protocols and is suitable for applications such as gene expression analysis, genetic variation, mutation detection, SNP genotyping, microRNA analysis, methylation studies, and pathogen detection. Technical specifications
