Qubit Flex Fluorometer

The Qubit Flex Fluorometer is designed for highly accurate and sensitive quantification of DNA, RNA, microRNA, protein, and endotoxin. This benchtop fluorometer offers the flexibility to directly measure fluorescence of up to eight samples simultaneously, which reduces assay variability. Paired with Qubit reagents, the Qubit Flex Fluorometer is part of an optimized workflow generating highly accurate and reproducible results. The fluorometer has a large screen and intuitive user interface, making it easy to select and run your desired assay with results displayed in just a few seconds.

Features of the Qubit Flex Fluorometer include:

• Improved throughput—measure multiple samples and quantify DNA, RNA, protein, and endotoxin up to 50% faster than single-sample readers
• Flexibility—measure up to eight samples simultaneously using 1–20 μL of sample
• Complete optimized system—works seamlessly with Qubit reagents to generate reliable, sensitive, and specific results
• On-board calculators—quickly generates Qubit working solution preparation instructions and determines the molarity of your samples
• Easy to use—a large 8-inch, state-of-the-art color touchscreen and intuitive user interface results in easy workflow navigation
• Data export flexibility—data is transferred easily as a CSV or PDF using the included Wi-Fi dongle, a USB drive, or connection to your network drive
• Several languages available—choices include English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, simplified Chinese, and Japanese
• Verification test—a pre-loaded program is included to verify performance of the instrument
• Qubit Flex SmartStart Digital Educational Experience—includes interactive visual demonstrations of how to install, operate, and maintain your instrument

Higher throughput, less variability than single sample readers

The Qubit Flex Fluorometer has the flexibility to measure multiple DNA, RNA, protein, and endotoxin samples up to 50% faster than single-sample readers. In addition to saving time, the ability to measure eight samples simultaneously reduces variability, resulting in highly reproducible data. The fluorometer includes reagent, range, and molarity calculators, further reducing the time to results. The reagent and range calculators help to determine which reagent and what amount of sample to use to effectively quantify the DNA, RNA, or protein. The molarity calculator allows you to calculate the molarity of your samples based on nucleic acid length and the measured concentration.

Enables more accurate results than UV absorbance at low concentrations

The Qubit Flex Fluorometer is far more sensitive than UV absorbance, which measures anything absorbing at 260 nm, including DNA, RNA, protein, free nucleotides, and excess salts. Moreover, UV spectrophotometry is often not sensitive enough to accurately measure low concentrations of DNA and RNA. With the Qubit Flex Fluorometer, your research is enhanced by more accurate measurements because the dyes in the Qubit assay kits fluorescence only when bound to the target molecule (DNA, RNA, protein, or endotoxin) in your sample. This allows you to avoid repeating work due to inaccurate measurements.

Optimized solution consisting of instrument and security software

Qubit Flex Security Software for 21 CFR Part 11 support is designed for use with the Qubit Flex Fluorometer. The software enables features for security, auditing, and electronic signature (SAE) including:

• Authentication of user login information
• Ability to set password guidelines and expiry dates
• Ability of administrator to define user roles and permissions
• Generation of an audit trail log
• Tracking of changes and committed actions to user roles, account management, and system settings
• Administrator determination of e-signature requirements

Comprehensive warranty options

The Qubit Flex Fluorometer comes with a standard 1-year warranty that covers repair costs including shipping, parts and labor. Service plans can be bundled with new instrument purchases to provide a 3-year warranty. These Qubit Flex Fluorometer packages are offered with a choice of service plans:

• Three-year Rapid Exchange (REX) Warranty—replacement shipped out in ~1 business day for labs with critical timelines
• Three-year AB Repair Center (ABRC) Warranty—instrument repaired and returned in ~3 weeks, ideal for regulated labs required to maintain asset tagging consistency
