QIAquant 96 5plex (230V) System FUL-3

A 5-target multiplex real-time PCR platform from QIAGEN, this 96-sample thermal cycler enables simultaneous detection of up to five genetic targets per reaction, conserving sample and reducing hands-on time for gene expression, SNP genotyping, and pathogen quantification workflows. The optical system reads five fluorescence channels in parallel, supporting both probe-based and intercalating dye chemistries across research and applied testing laboratories.

Configured for 230V operation in European and Asian facilities, the unit pairs with QIAGEN's Q-Software for plate setup, cycle programming, and downstream analysis including relative quantification, melt curve assessment, and allelic discrimination. The thermal block spans 4°C to 100°C with gradient annealing capability, allowing new primer sets to be optimized in a single experimental run rather than iterative trials.

Typical applications cover RT-qPCR for mRNA and viral RNA targets, bacterial load determination in food safety and water quality testing, GMO screening, and pharmacogenomic variant analysis. The instrument accepts 0.2 mL tubes, strip tubes, and standard PCR plates, and data export formats integrate with common LIMS and bioinformatics pipelines. Reagent storage at -20°C with protection from light preserves fluorophore performance across repeated runs.
