Maximum productivity with minimum effort

QuantStudio 12K Flex Real-Time PCR System

This one instrument enables multiple users to conduct a wide range of experiments, from low- to highthroughput sample processing and virtually any PCR application, such as:

• Drug discovery

• Pharmacogenomics research

• MicroRNA profiling

• Agriculture molecular testing

• CFTR mutation analysis

• Vaginal microbiota research

Miniaturization at a lower cost

Applied Biosystems™ OpenArray™ technology is a broadly applicable nanoliter fluidics platform for lowvolume, solution-phase reactions, and enables lower reagent and assay costs, and rapid parallel processing.

Unparalleled throughput
The Applied Biosystems™ QuantStudio™ 12K Flex System can simultaneously run up to four 3,072-reaction OpenArray plates in about 4 hours. You can produce up to 110,000 data points in an 8-hour day with the addition of a single Applied Biosystems™ ProFlex™ PCR System.

Outstanding flexibility

Easily switch between five available thermal cycling blocks: OpenArray plate, TaqMan Array card, 384-well, and standard or Fast 96-well blocks. Load the thermal-cycling block in less than 1 minute—no tools required.

Increased data integrity and quality control—with results you can trust

The integrated sample tracking and security, auditing, and electronic signature (SAE) module assist you in supporting 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Application spotlight
Pharmacogenomics research

Pharmacogenomics is the study of drug efficacy based on a subject’s unique genomic composition. The QuantStudio 12K Flex System and OpenArray technology provide a simple, cost-effective, and fast workflow for the analysis of mutations and copy number variants associated with drug metabolism enzyme (DME) genes.
