Description
The Accuris™ Smart-Q™ 100 and Smart-Q™ 800 fluorometers are designed for precise quantification of DNA, RNA and protein samples. Using well-established fluorescence detection methods, the Smart-Q fluorometers provide higher specificity and accuracy than traditional UV-absorbance detection — particularly important in workflows such as next-generation sequencing, PCR, transfection, Western blotting and immunoassays. They are optimized for Accuris fluorescent quantification kits and assay tubes, and are also compatible with kits from other suppliers.
The Smart-Q™ 800 is built for higher-throughput workflows: up to eight samples are read at once in individual 0.2 ml tubes (F1008-T) or 8-tube 0.2 ml strips (F1008-T-8). A standard 8-channel pipette can be used for both reagent preparation and sample transfer, making the Smart-Q™ 800 an efficient solution for parallel processing of multiple samples.
Each instrument has a 7-inch color touch screen with an intuitive, icon-driven interface. Preprogrammed protocols allow quick assay set-up, built-in reagent calculators help with sample preparation, and results are calculated and displayed in under 6 seconds, saved to internal memory and easily exported to a PC by USB flash drive. Advanced curve-fitting algorithms build calibration curves from 2–3 standards of known concentration, and unknown concentrations are determined by correlating their relative fluorescence units (RFUs) with the standards. Blue and red channels allow a variety of fluorescent dyes to be used for nucleic acid and protein measurements.
