ThermoFisher Scientific QuantStudio 12K Flex OpenArray AccuFill System - About the Instrument

About the instrument
Overview of the instrument
The instrument draws the PCR master mix and sample across the surface of an OpenArray
™
Plate.
The PCR master mix and sample do not need to be dispensed in specific volumes because the
through-holes of the OpenArray
™
Plate are self-metering. The PCR master mix and sample also do not
need to be specifically dispensed into the through-holes because the through-holes draw the liquid in
by capillary action.
No bubbles are trapped during the dispensing process because there are no closed wells.

™
technology, go to thermofisher.com/openarray.
