FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between QuantStudio 6 Flex and Pro?
The Flex supports higher throughput formats (up to 384 wells) and is widely adopted in established labs. The Pro adds smart automation (voice/facial login) and is ideal for labs upgrading to touchless workflows and energy-efficient instruments.
Q: Is this system compatible with my existing TaqMan® assays?
Yes. Both models are fully compatible with TaqMan® assays and Applied Biosystems reagents. You can also use third-party qPCR master mixes.
Q: Do refurbished QuantStudio 6 systems include software?
Yes. All units come with Design & Analysis software pre-installed and validated for use.
Q: How often do I need to calibrate the system?
The Flex model requires calibration every 6 months. The Pro model only needs calibration once every 2 years—saving time and reducing waste.
