QuantStudio 5 Dx PCR System - Good Condition 2022

QuantStudio™ 5 Dx: a reliable and accessible tool for molecular diagnostics in the laboratory

The QuantStudio™ 5 Dx system has been specifically developed to meet the real-time PCR needs of clinical laboratories. This molecular diagnostics device combines ease of use, analytical reliability and regulatory compliance. Equipped with interactive software, it allows easy navigation between test development (DEV) and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) modes, making the device suitable for both research and clinical applications.

Its user interface, inspired by modern smart devices, allows even inexperienced technicians to get started quickly. This ease of use is enhanced by a set of software features designed to ensure safe handling: reagent tracking, sample traceability, comprehensive auditing with time stamps, e-signatures and event history. All experimental results are accurately documented, facilitating archiving and quality control processes.

Compact (27 x 50 x 40 cm) and lightweight (27 kg), the QuantStudio™ 5 Dx fits easily into any laboratory space. It is equipped with six independent VeriFlex™ temperature zones, allowing protocols to be optimised on a single plate. Its white LED optical system combined with a CMOS camera and six decorrelated filters ensures accurate detection across a wide spectral range (450–680 nm for excitation, 500–730 nm for detection). The system is factory calibrated to detect a wide range of fluorescent dyes (including FAM™, VIC™, SYBR™, TAMRA™, ROX™ and Cy®5), allowing up to six simultaneous targets without passive reference.

Thanks to its software, the QuantStudio™ 5 Dx limits the risk of human error, ensures compliance with standards such as 21 CFR Part 11, and restricts the use of IVD mode to authorised tests only. All these features make it a reliable system for high-precision diagnostics, while remaining affordable for laboratories of all sizes.
