The Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System advances your research further by enabling a broad range of real-time PCR-based applications through its multiplexing capabilities and interchangeable block formats. With a simplified workflow, intuitive software, automation capabilities, and touch-screen interface, the QuantStudio 7 Flex system offers exceptional reproducibility with minimal well-to-well and instrument-to-instrument variation.


The QuantStudio 7 Flex system accommodates the interchange of a 96-well, 96-well Fast, 384-well, or TaqMan array card block. The system is delivered with one block type (a 384-well block in this case); other block types may be purchased separately. In addition, a Twister Robot Automation Accessory is available for this system to support high throughput workflows. For a more value-priced system that does not support TaqMan array cards or automation (but that can be upgraded to do so at a later date), please see our QuantStudio 6 Flex system. And for the ultimate in flexibility, consider the QuantStudio 12K Flex system, which also accommodates TaqMan OpenArray plates.

Features of the QuantStudio 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System include:

Increased application versatility through the accomodation of 4 different block types
Compatible with over 8 million TaqMan assays for gene expression, genetic variation, gene regulation, or protein expression experiments
The intelligent design of the QuantStudio platform combined with Applied Biosystems instrument reliability and accuracy
Easy-to-use software, responsive touch-screen, automation capabilities, and effortless block exchange without the need for any tools

Accomplish More, Faster
Run hundreds of real-time PCR reactions effortlessly using TaqMan Array 384-well microfluidic cards. And when integrated with the Twister Robot Automation Accessory (available separately) , the QuantStudio 7 Flex system maximizes your throughput capabilities.

High Application Versatility
Simple workflows, reliable assays and reagents, multiple formats, and intuitive software are available for a broad range of applications, including gene expression, genetic variation, gene regulation, High Resolution Melt (HRM), and Protein Thermal Shift experiments.

Results You Can Trust
Improved well-to-well and instrument-to-instrument data accuracy is achieved with the OptiFlex system, which features 6 decoupled excitation and emission filter channels with 21 filter combinations for maximum multiplexing and chemistry flexibility.

Sensitive Data Analysis
Detect changes in target quantity as small as 1.5-fold in single-plex reactions and obtain 10 logs of linear dynamic range.
