Thermo Scientific Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 7 Pro Real-Time PCR System with 96-Well 0.1 mL Fast Block

The Thermo Scientific Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 7 Pro is a high-performance real-time PCR system engineered for accurate nucleic acid quantification and fast thermal cycling. Featuring an interchangeable block format, the standard configuration includes a 96-well 0.1 mL fast block with a heated cover, supporting reaction volumes of 10–30 µL per well.

Key technical specifications include:

• Maximum ramp rate of 9.0 °C/sec and average sample ramp rate of 4.81 °C/sec, enabling rapid cycling times under 30 minutes.
• Temperature uniformity of ±0.4 °C over a range from 4 to 99.9 °C ensures precise thermal control critical for reproducible molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing assays.
• Advanced optical detection system using bright white LED excitation and CMOS whole-plate imaging enables multiplex fluorescence detection across 21 filter/color combinations with excitation/emission ranges of 450–600 nm / 500–640 nm.
• Supports multiplexing of up to 5 or 6 targets simultaneously, ideal for complex gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, methylation studies, and microRNA profiling.
• High sensitivity with 1.5-fold resolution and capability to detect down to a single nucleic acid copy, critical for quantitative PCR assays in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology workflows.
• Compatible with a broad range of dyes including FAM, SYBR Green I, VIC, JOE, HEX, TET, ABY, and Cy5 series, enabling diverse assay designs.
• Peltier heating/cooling technology for precise temperature cycling, paired with a heated cover to prevent sample evaporation.
• Dimensions: 52.5 x 33.8 x 54.7 cm; Weight: 38 kg.

This real-time PCR platform is widely adopted in biotechnology research, clinical diagnostics, and biomanufacturing pipelines, providing reliable performance for applications such as quantitative PCR (qPCR), high-resolution melting analysis (HRM), drug resistance testing, genotyping, next-generation sequencing validation, and protein-DNA interaction studies (ChIP-qPCR).

The QuantStudio 7 Pro offers user-friendly touchscreen control and customizable settings to streamline workflows in busy laboratories. Optional configurations include 96-well standard blocks (0.2 mL) and 384-well blocks, expanding flexibility for various throughput demands.

This model is fully serviced with current calibration using the QuantStudio Spectral Dye Calibration Kit and preventative maintenance completed to ensure reliable operation. It is ideal for research facilities and biopharma companies requiring a robust, sensitive platform essential for molecular cloning workflows, gene expression quantification, and synthetic biology research projects.
