Instrument hardware description

Instrument overview

The QuantStudio™1 Plus Real-Time PCR System uses ﬂuorescence-based polymerase chain reaction

(PCR) reagents to perform the following types of experiments:

•Quantitative detection of target nucleic acid sequences (targets)

•Qualitative detection of targets

•Qualitative analysis of the PCR product

For more information, see “Experiment types” on page 19.

The instrument is conﬁgured with a 96-well 0.2-mL ﬁxed block and a 4-color coupled ﬁlter set.

The instrument can be run directly from the touchscreen to create and start experiments. To design

experiments or to analyze data, the instrument can be integrated with the QuantStudio™Design and

Analysis SC Software v1.0.

The instrument can be used with the Thermo Fisher™Connect Platform.

An optional barcode scanner and optional wireless adapter can be ordered separately.

Instrument ﬁlters and supported dyes

System dyes

The instrument uses a coupled four-color ﬁlter set that supports the dyes shown in the following table

and ﬁgure. For more information about available spectral dye calibration kits, contact Support.
