Product Overview
HM-QT8M is a fluorometer module for fluorescence-based nucleic acid and protein concentration measurement. It supports eight samples and is designed for integration into automated extraction and sequencing library preparation workstations. Sample input is 1–20 μL, used with the appropriate fluorescence assay reagents. Designed for sequencing library preparation workflows, this module supports post-extraction concentration checks and nucleic acid input assessment before downstream library steps.
Key Features
- Fluorescence-based quantification with high-efficiency LED excitation and a SiPMT detector.
- Micro-volume sample input of 1–20 μL.
- Five-decade dynamic range and two-point calibration.
- Open reagent platform compatible with suitable Qubit® series quantification kits.
- PC control, USB-to-serial and Bluetooth communication; raw fluorescence and concentration values can be uploaded.
Applications
Use fluorescence assays to quantify sample input during NGS library preparation, check DNA concentration before PCR research, and assess low-concentration nucleic acids or proteins after extraction. Workstation control and compatible robot-arm integration support automated sample handling. Assay selection must match the optical configuration and reagent kit; microRNA and general RNA assay coverage differ by model.
