Quantus An easy-to-use, sensitive and affordable single-tube instrument for fluorescence-based quantitation of DNA and RNA.

Why Choose Quantus? times J0 more Sensitive Than Qubtt 3 Fluorometer .. ___ Up SAVINGS Over Sim'il'^ Competitor product % Up to SAVINGS Over Similar instruments

Including: Illumina (HiSeq™/miSeq), Roche (454) and Life Technologies (ion Torrent™ and ion Proton™) Systems.

Higher Sensitivity Accurately measure samples too dilute to measure on a NanoDrop® Spectrophotometer. The Quantus™ Fluorometer and QuantiFluor® Dyes provide sensitivity that is up to 200 times greater than that of absorbance-based quantitation using the NanoDrop® Spectrophotometer, depending on the assay used and amount of sample measured. Cost Savings Save up to 25% over similar instruments. Plus, you save even more because you don’t need a computer or any special accessories. Save an additional 40% by using Promega dyes (compared to similar competitor products). Easy-to-Use Quantus™...

Quantitate with Confidence. High Sensitivity Fluorescence-based nucleic acid quantitation methods are more sensitive than absorbance-based methods. This allows you to quantitate samples with concentrations too low to be accurately measured by absorbance. High sensitivity makes the Quantus™ Fluorometer perfect when working with sample types such as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue that yield low amounts of nucleic acid. You can confidently proceed to your downstream detection assays, knowing you have DNA or RNA and you’re adding the correct amount. QuantiFluor dsDNA Dye System...

Superior Specificity Fluorescence-based nucleic acid quantitation methods also are more specific than absorbance-based methods that rely on A260 measurement: • Single-stranded DNA, double-stranded DNA and RNA all absorb strongly at 260nm and cannot be distinguished by absorbance-based quantitation methods. • Contaminants that absorb at 260nm, such as proteins or guanidine isothiocyanate, can cause an overestimation of nucleic acid concentrations.
