The ZKS purchased a new digital PCR instrument from Applied Biosystems (Thermofisher): the Absolute Q

• Features of the QuantStudio Absolute Q system include:
• Easy and convenient qPCR-like workflow with only five minutes of hands-on time
• Reduced errors and manual inputs with all functions integrated into a single instrument
• Increased productivity with results in as little as 90 minutes
• Reduced downtime with Smart Remote Support; show issues to Technical Support for speedy resolution
• QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR software enables intuitive setup, monitoring, and analysis
• Compatible with Absolute Q Liquid Biopsy Digital PCR assays for oncology applications, as well as our portfolio of TaqMan assays for gene expression, genetic variation, gene regulation, and other quantification experiments

With the ability to multiplex using up to four optical channels, the QuantStudio Absolute Q system enables more targets to be measured per sample, saving time and reagents. The Absolute Q dPCR platform is an ideal solution for any application requiring high sensitivity, precision, and accuracy.
