Description

The PrimeQ instrument has been designed with the advantage of having an open architecture
and chemistry format that allows the end user full flexibility of the qPCR methods and research
they wish to pursue.
Single White LED Light Source
*Ensures consistent power output to each well compared to tungsten halogen lamps or other
LED systems.
*Provides a long life span unlike tungsten halogen lamps that require frequent replacement.
PMT (Photomultiplier tube) Detector
*PMT is designed for accurate detection of photons compared to CCD cameras which are
just an imaging system.
*PMT provides raw data for analysis that can be manipulated directly whereas CCD uses
image comparisons interpreted by internal algorithms.
Flexible scanning mechanism
*Allows both partial and full plate reads.
*High accuracy ensures no cross talk between well reads.
*Full plate read in 20 seconds per filter.
Multiplex capabilities
*4 paired excitation and emission filters housed in an individual cartridge
*Open system to preferred chemistry and not locked in to factory calibrated dyes
