About This Instrument

The Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR System is designed for users who need superior performance, maximum dye versatility, and security options in a real-time PCR system that is affordable and easy to use. The optimized Design and Analysis software is ideal for both first-time and experienced users. When connected to iConnect, Thermo Fisher's cloud-based platform, the QuantStudio 5 system provides access to your data wherever and whenever you want. Using proven OptiFlex technology (featuring six decoupled channels and white LED) and featuring six independent Veriflex temperature zones, the QuantStudio 5 96-well system enables improved data accuracy and sensitivity for a broad range of genomic applications. The QuantStudio 5 system also offers the built-in software features of electronic record security and prevention of unauthorized instrument access to assist with 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
