QIAquant 96 2plex (115V) System FUL-5

An optical engine driven by five long-life LEDs and a silver thermal block with gold coating anchor the real-time PCR cycler from QIAGEN. The system accepts sample volumes of 5 to 100 µl, with 10 to 80 µl recommended, and supports a temperature gradient of 40 °C in 0.1 °C increments. Heating ramps reach 8 °C/s and cooling 6 °C/s, compressing cycle times for gene expression analysis, SNP genotyping, and pathogen quantification studies. The heated lid operates between 30 and 110 °C with 30 kg of automated contact pressure to suppress condensation during sealed-plate runs.

The fibre-optic shuttle reads the full block in roughly 6 seconds regardless of channel count, and Q-Rex software handles absolute quantification, ΔΔCt, allelic discrimination, and DNA melt curve analysis. Run protocols and Cq values export through USB to Excel, CSV, or PDF reports, and the fixed filter configuration cannot be field-upgraded to additional optical channels.

The 115 V chassis draws up to 850 W, weighs 30 kg, and measures 59 × 27.5 × 27.5 cm when closed. Touchscreen control via Q-Rex Touch or PC-side operation runs on Windows 10; the standard 2-plex configuration ships under catalogue 9003000 with the blue (455 nm/515 nm) FAM/SYBR Green channel and the green (520 nm/560 nm) HEX/VIC channel for duplex detection in research use only laboratories.
