Description

If you are looking for a smarter solution for assessing nucleic acid quantity and quality, look no further. The QIAxpert spectrophotometer provides a detailed insight into your sample’s quantity and purity by analyzing your nucleic acid with spectral content profiling. This proprietary analysis feature lets you specifically quantify DNA, RNA and total nucleic acids and also provides information regarding residual impurities. The QIAxpert helps you understand your samples better than ever before. Be aware of work references real money slots online. In addition to classical UV-Vis quantification of nucleic acids, QIAxpert can differentiate DNA, RNA and sample impurities, giving you a clear picture of what really is in your samples.
Along with the next-generation analysis protocols, QIAxpert users particularly like the clean and simple way of loading samples, the fast measurements and the comprehensive reports that can be automatically exported. QIAxpert features a full-color integrated touchscreen interface, so no extra computer is required. The intuitive and easy-to-use QIAxpert Software was designed to fit a busy lab schedule. To facilitate data analysis and sharing, the data are exportable to a USB stick, a networked drive, or a smart device via a QR code.

~Flexibility and accuracy with QIAxpert Slides.

QIAxpert uses disposable microfluidic slides to analyze up to 16 samples per run. On-board capillary intake and storage channels ensure easy sample loading with no cross-contamination, and allow unused positions to be used in later analyses. The capillary channels preserve samples and prevent evaporation. Thus, samples can be loaded and left at room temperature for up to 2 hours prior to readout. Comprehensive reports of measurements are available in several formats for data analysis and sharing.
