Accuris Smart-Q™ Fluorometers offer fast, accurate, and highly specific quantitation of DNA, RNA, and protein samples using fluorescence detection. Available in two models, the Smart-Q 100 (single-sample) and Smart-Q 800 (8-sample), these compact instruments are ideal for applications such as NGS, PCR, transfection, and western blotting workflows.
Smart-Q instruments eliminate the limitations of UV-based methods by detecting fluorescence only when bound to the target molecule, delivering unparalleled sensitivity—down to 0.1pg/µL for dsDNA.
Key Features:
- Ultra-sensitive detection: down to 0.1 pg/µL dsDNA
- Supports DNA, RNA, and protein fluorescence quantitation
- 7” intuitive color touchscreen for easy programming
- Pre-programmed protocols for quick assay setup
- Built-in reagent calculators simplify sample preparation
- Onboard memory + USB flash drive support for data export
- Compact footprint — only 11 x 6 inches
- Compatible with Accuris and third-party dye kits
