6 and 7 Flex Real-Time PCR Systems
The QuantStudio
™
6 and 7 Flex Real-Time PCR Systems use uorescent-based
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reagents to provide:
• Quantitative research detection of target nucleic acid sequences (targets) using
real-time analysis.
• Qualitative research detection of targets using post-PCR (endpoint) analysis.
• Qualitative analysis of the PCR product (achieved by melt curve analysis that
occurs post-PCR).
