Compact, easy to use, and cost-effective single tube fluorometer for Life Science applications.
The QuantiFluor™-P Fluorometer replaces the Turner BioSystems Picofluor Fluorometer. Same instrument... new look!
OVERVIEW
The QuantiFluor™-P is a lightweight, handheld instrument configured for many of the fluorescent probes commonly used in nucleic acid and protein quantitation. While small in size, performance is not compromised. The QuantiFluor™-P has two dedicated channels that offer the ability to quickly analyze a sample for two different fluorescent signals.
BATTERY POWERED
The QuantiFluor™-P is powered by four size AAA batteries.
EASY TO USE
No special training is needed so you can focus on your data, not on how to use the software.
INEXPENSIVE AND COMPACT
The small, lightweight QuantiFluor™-P Fluorometer can be stored in a drawer or on a shelf. With its low price, you can buy several to easily manage the demands of a busy lab.
DEDICATED OPTICAL CHANNELS
Two optical channels allow you to measure two different fluorophores in the same assay.
SENSITIVE
Four logs of dynamic range.
INTERNAL DATALOGGING
An internal datalogging package with software that interfaces with Microsoft Excel can log up to 1,000 data points.
PCR TUBE ADAPTER
An optional PCR Tube Adapter allows measurement of small fluorescence sample volumes (100µl minimum) in 0.5 mL PCR tubes without sacrificing instrument sensitivity.
MINICELL ADAPTER
The optional Minicell Adapter allows you to measure sample in low volumes between 75 - 250 µl.
