QuantStudio™ 12K Flex Real-Time PCR System
According to Applied Biosystems, the newest upgraded All-in-one Real Time PCR system, compatible with TaqMan^®. OpenArray^® Digital PCR Plates.

Featuring a much higher throughput:

• With up to 4 arrays, 3,072 reactions per array, can achieve 12,288 reactions in a single run
• >43,000 reactions (up to 2,304 samples) per work day

More automation:

• Reduces user error by automated loading (standard deviation <0.25 Ct)
• Faster, less start-up and hands-on time (<20 minutes loading, 2.5 hours from cDNA/DNA to real time data)
• Offers much greater flexibility with off-the-shelf and custom-designed assays, and better precision/sensitivity for nucleic acid experiments

Fluidigm C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep system

The C1 system is based on innovative microfluidic technology that enables rapid and reliable isolation, processing and profiling of individual cells for genomic analysis. The instrument isolates single cells into individual reaction chambers in an integrated fluidic circuit (IFC) chip. The optically clear IFC enables researchers to automatically stain captured cells and examine them by microscopy for viability, surface markers or reporter genes. After staining, cells are automatically lysed and template is quickly prepared for qPCR and RNA-Seq, or whole-genome amplification and downstream Exome sequencing analysis.

• The system is expandable: Run new chemistry or applications by modifying existing scripts, or purchase or develop custom applications.
• The latest collection of new single-cell applications includes mRNA sequencing, epigenetics, DNA sequencing, cell staining and more.
