Description
Q uses a patented magnetic induction technology to rapidly heat samples coupled with fan forced air for cooling to acquire data in only 25 minutes. Available as a 4 channel model, the robust optical system acquires all channels simultaneously and allows for running the fastest multiplexed assays.
Q's miniature speaker-size and 4.5 pound weight make it the most portable and versatile qPCR machine on the market without ever needing to calibrate. Q also provides scalability as each qPCR machine can process up to 48 samples per run and up to 10 Q's can be connected to a single computer wirelessly via bluetooth enabling up to 480 samples to be processed simultaneously.
A key difference is that Q incorporates a unique spinning aluminum rotor providing superior temperature uniformity of ± 0.05°C versus traditional block-based real time thermal cyclers which rely on multiple peltier heating blocks that can create edge effects resulting in sample variation. Not only does the data give you superior reproducibility, repeatability but enables detection of 2-fold gene expression level differences as well as identification of difficult class IV SNP's requiring melt temperature resolutions of 0.1°C.

A qPCR cycler the size of a speaker!

Don’t be fooled by it’s small size. Big things are happening inside.
- Fixed optics & no moving parts
- Never needs optical alignment or calibration
- No reference dyes or cross talk compensation required
- Utilizes proprietary 0.1 ml 4-strip tubes & caps
- supporting volumes of 5 – 30 μl
- High speed centrifugation ensures sample spin down
- Prevents evaporation & condensation with pre-loaded oil in tubes
Q provides ultra-sensitive detection down to single digit copies of DNA.
