Highly sensitive, affordable, single-tube fluorometer
Easy, intuitive controls.
Calculates concentration automatically.
Ready to use with QuantiFluor® Dyes, also compatible with other fluorescent assays.
Stores the last 20 readings. Can be connected to a computer to transfer data in real time.
Recommended for Next-Gen Sequencing. Used with several NGS systems, including Illumina (HiSeq/miSeq), Roche (454) and LifeTech (ion Torrent and ion Proton) Systems.

- Easy, intuitive controls. Calculates concentration automatically.
- Ready to use with QuantiFluor® Dyes, also compatible with other fluorescent assays.
- Stores the last 20 readings. Can be connected to a computer to transfer data in real time.
- Recommended for Next-Gen Sequencing. Used with several NGS systems, including Illumina (HiSeq/miSeq), Roche (454) and LifeTech (ion Torrent and ion Proton) Systems.
- Two fluorescent channels:
- Red fluorescence channel: Excitation: 640nm shortpass (wavelengths up to 640nm); Emission 660–720nm
- Blue fluorescence channel: Excitation: 495nm shortpass (wavelengths up to 495nm); Emission 510–580nm
- Speed and convenience. The calibration process saves time by eliminating the need to generate a standard curve for each set of unknown samples. Simply measure the fluorescence of your blank sample and the standard that represents the highest point on your standard curve. The Quantus™ Fluorometer saves the calibration data for future measurements.
- Intuitive navigation and a large 3-inch liquid crystal display screen.
- Compact size at only 22.7 x 11.5 x 4.5cm.
- No computer is necessary to use the Quantus™ Fluorometer, but after installing the Quantus™ Software (free of charge) you can automatically transfer your quantitation results from the Quantus™ Fluorometer to a personal computer in real time.
- Easily customize sample names, and view concentration results, raw values, sample volumes and a quality check.
- Ability to easily export results into Microsoft® Excel.
Quantus™ Fluorometer is an ideal partner to the Maxwell® 16 Instrument.
The high sensitivity makes the Quantus™ Fluorometer perfect when working with samples types such as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue that contain low levels of nucleic acid.
You can confidently quantify nucleic acid from FFPE tissues and proceed to your downstream assays, knowing that there is DNA or RNA present.
Successful and accurate quantification leads to higher success in downstream assays such as PCR, cloning, transfection and next-generation sequencing.
You can automatically transfer your quantitation results from the Quantus™ Fluorometer to a personal computer using the Quantus™ Software. Export results easily into Microsoft® Excel.
