Ultra-High-Throughput Genomic Analysis and qPCR Automation

If your genomics facility is bottlenecked by tedious manual pipetting or rising master mix costs, the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 12K Flex Real-Time PCR system delivers the ultimate ultra-high-throughput automation to scale your genomic workflows. Engineered to run advanced TaqMan Array Cards and high-density OpenArray plates, this massive system can process up to 12,000 real-time PCR reactions in a single run while drastically reducing your reagent consumption per well. The included Applied Biosystems AccuFill system completely automates sample loading into the OpenArray plates with exceptional mechanical precision, eliminating user pipetting errors and minimizing cross-contamination risks. It is a premier, robust powerhouse for biotechnology and pharmaceutical facilities executing large-scale gene expression profiling, pharmacogenomics studies, high-density SNP genotyping, and biobank population genetics investigations.

QuanStudio 12k Flex Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

New systems typically range from approximately $195,000 to $260,000 depending on configuration, throughput options, software packages, and automation accessories, while certified pre-owned systems generally range from $20,000 to $35,000, offering substantial savings on initial capital investment. In addition to acquisition costs, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as OpenArray consumables, qPCR reagents, assay panels, calibration materials, preventive maintenance, software support, thermal block verification, AccuFill servicing, and compliance-related validation activities for regulated research environments. Long-term ownership considerations may also include optical system maintenance, replacement electronic components, automation support, and periodic performance qualification to maintain analytical accuracy and throughput. Purchasing a certified pre-owned QuantStudio 12K Flex Real-Time OpenArray qPCR System with AccuFill allows laboratories to dramatically reduce ownership costs while still benefiting from ultra-high-throughput qPCR capability, automated sample loading, reduced reagent consumption, scalable genomic analysis, and proven performance for SNP genotyping, gene expression profiling, biomarker validation, pharmacogenomics, and large-scale molecular screening applications.

EPA Method 1697: Characterization of Human Fecal Pollution in Water Using the QuantStudio 12k Flex Real Time PCR with AccuFill System

The Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 12K Flex Real-Time PCR System with the OpenArray Platform and OpenArray AccuFill System provides a powerful high-throughput qPCR platform for laboratories performing microbial source tracking and water quality research using TaqMan-based assays such as those employed in EPA Method 1697 for characterization of human fecal pollution in water.
