Invitrogen™ Qubit™ 4 Fluorometer, with WiFi 

Description

• Qubit™ 4 Fluorometer and RNA IQ Assay Kit work together to accurately distinguish intact from degraded RNA in just two easy steps
• For all assays, the concentration or quality of the target molecule in the sample is reported by a fluorescent dye that emits a signal only when bound to the target, which minimizes the effects of contaminants on the result
• Easy-to-use touch-screen menus make it easy to select and run the assays, with results displayed in just a few seconds

Features:

• Fast and highly accurate quantitation of DNA, RNA, and protein in less than three seconds per sample
• Measures intact RNA in less than 5 seconds per sample
• High levels of accuracy using only 1 to 20 μL of sample, even with very dilute samples
• On-board Reagent Calculator quickly generates Qubit™ working solution preparation instructions
• Stores results from up to 1000 samples
• Large 5.7 in, state-of-the-art, color touch screen for easy workflow navigation
• Graphical display indicates when samples are in the extended range or out of range
• Small footprint saves space on your bench
• Flexibility to export data to using the included WiFi dongle, a USB drive, or directly to your computer via a USB cable
• Ability to personalize your Qubit™ fluorometer with the assays you run most, add new assays, or even create your own assays with the MyQubit™ software and web tool
• Language of your choice including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, simplified Chinese, and Japanese
• Pre-loaded program to test performance of fluorometer using the Qubit™ Fluorometer Verification Assay Kit

Flurometer can also be used to directly measure the fluorescence of samples using Fluorometer mode.

• Ion Sphere Particle quality can be evaluated on the Fluorometer using the Ion Sphere Quality Control Kit prior to performing a sequencing run on the Ion PGM sequencer.

Enables more accurate results than with UV absorbance at low concentrations

• Fluorometer is far more sensitive than UV absorbance, which measures anything absorbing at 260 nm, including DNA, RNA, protein, free nucleotides, or excess salts
• Dyes in the Qubit™ assay kits fluoresce only when bound to the selected molecule (DNA, RNA or protein) in a sample, preventing repetating work due to inaccurate measurements

Fast, simple, and accurate measurement of RNA quality

• Qubit™ RNA IQ assay provides a fast, simple method to check whether an RNA sample has degraded
• Assay utilizes two unique dyes: one that binds to large, intact RNA, and another that selectively binds to small, degraded RNA, together enabling quick assesment of the quality and integrity of an RNA sample.
• To use, simply add samples to the RNA IQ working solution, then measure on the Fluorometer.

Save samples and bench space

• Requires samples of only 1 to 20 μL
• Intended for use at room temperature and occupies only a small amount of bench space
• Features advanced optics and data analysis algorithms, and comes equipped with a WiFi dongle, a USB thumb drive, and cable for data transfer to Excel software and for software downloads, as well as a universal power supply, four plug adapters, and electromagnetic CE certification
• Enables maximum flexibility for data export using WiFi, USB drive, or USB cable direct to computer.
• All data can be saved in the cloud application, including direct transfer from the instrument via WiFi.

Single sample measurements are a breeze

• User-friendly fluorometer is combined with quick and simple assay procedures
• Calculations and settings are automatically performed by the instrument
• Asays are all performed using the same general protocol, which uses a simple mix-and-read format with incubation times of only two minutes for the DNA and RNA assays.
• 500 L thin-walled PCR tubes are required
