The qTOWER3 84 includes all of the strengths of the qTOWER3 product family and transfers its precise performance to the 384 well high-throughput format. The proven high-performance optics have been expanded to 16 fibers and enable an ultra-fast read-out time of just 6 seconds for a complete 348 well plate – regardless of the number of filters used. Here, too, the system benefits from the complete flexibility of freely configurable filter equipment, allowing it to be adapted to any application. The innovative light source with four different-colored LEDs also enables read-outs of very small sample volumes, which play an increasingly important role in the high-throughput format along with existing factors like speed and experimental precision.
The centerpiece of the device is extremely precise and reliable temperature control, together with optical signal recognition for all 384 samples that are used for qualitative and quantitative DNA characterization. The proven fiber-optic shuttle system in the qTOWER3 has been perfectly adapted to the 384 well format and expanded to 16 scanning fibers. In combination with an outstanding, long-life source of light from four different LEDs, an extremely fast read-out of the fluorescence in just six seconds is guaranteed for a complete 384 well plate with up to six-fold multiplexing.
