The QuantStudio 3 RT-PCR machine is a 96 well (0.1 ml block) real time PCR instrument which can be used for a wide range of applications including genotyping, miRNA and gene expression analysis, presence/absence detection, strain identification, and melt curve analysis. The QS3 permits 4 multiplex experiments for all these applications and 3 independent temperature zones for temperature control and optimization.

It can detect differences in target quantity as low as 1.5-fold. The instrument features a full function touch screen -- can be run directly from the touch screen to create and start experiments -- and has pre-optimized protocol templates. Data analysis can be carried out on the associated computer using the QuantStudio Design and Analysis software.
