QUANTICA® Real-time Nucleic Acid Detection System
Quantica® has been designed with the advantage of having an open architecture and chemistry format that allows the end user full flexibility of the methods and research they wish to pursue.
Features
- Solid state white light source and PMT (photomultiplier tube) detector gives an impressive excitation range of 470nm to 650nm and a detection range of 500nm to 710nm.
- Multiplex - multiple wavelengths are detectable per sample using up to four paired excitation and emission filters housed in individual cartridge systems.
-Wide dynamic range - up to at least 9 orders of magnitude from starting copy number and high sensitivity, detecting down to 1nM fluorescein and single copy templates, depending upon the assay.

Heated Lid
The flexible optical heated lid system is designed to minimize loss of sample and prevent sample condensation. Temperature controlled, it allows further method optimization where pre-incubation stages may be required (e.g. in reverse transcription techniques) or where changes in the heated lid characteristics are needed during the different stages of a program run.
Quansoft® software and reporting
Accompanying Quantica® is our unique, intuitive software Quansoft®. By employing a series of user-friendly windows, Quansoft® enables any real-time experiment to be created with ease.
Comprehensive, completely user customizable report formats can be selected from quanti fication, dissociation curve, plus/minus scoring and allelic discrimination analyses. Fully user-customizable report formats can be printed or exported to Adobe PDF, while raw data formats can be exported to MS Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
