Quantstudio 12K Flex qPCR System
All-In-One qPCR Instrument
Combining flexible throughput capabilities with a streamlined workflow, the Applied Biosystems™ QuantStudio 12K (QS12K) Flex system takes you from targeted discovery through confirmation and screening, all on a single platform.
Increased Throughput
The QS12K Flex system is capable of running up to four Applied Biosystems™ OpenArray™ plates in a single run. This is the equivalent to 32 traditional 384-well qPCR plates or 12,000 data points.
Five Interchangeable Blocks
The QS12K Flex instrument is equipped with five different heating block that you can choose from (OpenArray plate, TaqMan Array Card, 384-well, Standard 96-well, and Fast 96-well).
Note: Please specify the plate type when you are reserving the instrument on the scheduler
