Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Quantus™ Fluorometer, a device designed for fluorescence-based quantitation of DNA and RNA. It highlights the product's specifications, advantages, and compatibility with various assays.
Specifications: The Quantus™ Fluorometer is compact, measuring 22.7 × 11.5 × 4.5 cm and weighing 400 grams. It features a linear dynamic range of five orders of magnitude, with a limit of detection as low as 1 pg/ml for double-stranded DNA using QuantiFluor® dsDNA Dye. The device uses solid-state silicon sensors and supports dual-channel fluorescence measurement with specific excitation and emission wavelengths.
Key Features: The fluorometer offers high sensitivity, up to 40,000 times greater than absorbance-based methods like NanoDrop®. It provides cost savings of up to 25% compared to similar instruments and does not require a computer or special accessories. The device is preprogrammed with protocols for various QuantiFluor® Dye Systems and is compatible with other fluorescent assays.
Software and Usability: The optional Quantus™ Software facilitates data transfer to a computer, eliminating manual recording. The software is compatible with Windows XP and Windows 7, requiring .NET Framework 4.0 or later. The device features intuitive menus and a large LCD for easy navigation, with a single-point calibration process that saves time.
Applications and Benefits: The Quantus™ Fluorometer is ideal for quantitating nucleic acids in samples with low concentrations, such as FFPE tissue. It ensures accurate quantitation, leading to higher success rates in downstream assays like PCR and next-generation sequencing. The fluorescence-based method offers superior specificity over absorbance-based methods, reducing the risk of overestimation due to contaminants.
Conclusion: The Quantus™ Fluorometer is a versatile, cost-effective, and highly sensitive tool for nucleic acid quantitation, providing reliable results and ease of use for various laboratory applications.
