• Flexibility and Scalability • Includes five interchangeable blocks: The QuantStudio™ 12K Flex blocks accomodate 96-well, FAST 96-well, 384-well, TaqMan™ array cards, and OpenArray™ plates, for effortless scaling from 1 to 12,000 data points in a single run
• Increase throughput as you dive deeper into your research, using just one instrument
• As you begin your project, start with 96-well format experiments and then scale up to a higher throughput to get the statistically significant answers you need
• Additionally, you can easily validate and screen your targets of interest with a selected panel of genes using novel formats such as the TaqMan™ array cards and OpenArray™ plates
• • Compatible with a full range of TaqMan™ assays: The QuantStudio™ 12K Flex System is optimized to enable clear, clean data for all TaqMan™ assays that might be used across a broad range of applications, including gene expression, microRNA and small noncoding RNAs, SNP genotyping, protein analysis, protein thermal shift, high resolution melt, copy number variation, and pathogen detection
• • Provides a seamless switch from qPCR to digital PCR: Increase the precision and sensitivity of your nucleic acid experiment by switching from qPCR to digital PCR mode using QuantStudio™ Digital PCR kits and DigitalSuite™ Software with the QuantStudio™ OpenArray™ block
• • Delivers peace of mind: Leave early on a Friday and monitor runs from home, knowing that the system can safely store over 100 runs
• Maximum Throughput • Enhanced OptiFlex™ System: Building upon Applied Biosystems’ proprietary technology, the Enhanced OptiFlex™ System provides enhanced fluorescence detection for the accurate and sensitive data analysis necessary to collect 12,000 data points in a single run
• • Unprecedented coverage and sample throughput: The OpenArray™ format accelerates genomic validation and screening, driving over 150,000 data points per work day, enabling most projects to be completed in days instead of weeks
• • Simple OpenArray™ workflow: QuantStudio™ Open Array™ plates arrive in a case to facilitate ease of handling and ensure optimal data quality upon loading of samples using the Accufill™ System
• Easily load four arrays into the QuantStudio™ 12K Flex instrument to achieve over 12,000 data points
• Integrated sample tracking software lets you easily track your samples throughout the course of your project
• • Integrated analysis and quality systems: New intuitive touch-screen interface and integrated calendar feature allows for scheduling time of use on the instrument
• Additional analysis software such as DigitalSuite™ v1.0, ExpressionSuite v1.0, and Genotyper v1.1 is available to help you analyze hundreds of targets and samples and achieve the statistical power you need
