The Qubit 4 Fluorometer with WiFi is the latest version of the popular Qubit fluorometer designed to accurately measure DNA, RNA, and protein quantity, and now also RNA integrity and quality, using the highly sensitive Qubit assays. The Qubit 4 Fluorometer was re-engineered to enable data transfer via WiFi as well as to run the Qubit RNA IQ (integrity & quality) assay. The Qubit 4 Fluorometer and RNA IQ Assay Kit work together to accurately distinguish intact from degraded RNA in just two easy steps.
For all Qubit assays, the concentration or quality of the target molecule in the sample is reported by a fluorescent dye that emits a signal only when bound to the target, which minimizes the effects of contaminants on the result. The easy-to-use touch-screen menus make it easy to select and run the assays you need, with results displayed in just a few seconds.
1. Touchscreen is the user interface containing the controls for all the functions needed and displays data from the assays
2. Sample chamber is used to load the assay tube containing the sample into the fluorometer for analysis.
3. USB cable port (type mini-B) allows you to transfer your data directly to your computer using the USB cable supplied with the instrument or any other similar USB cable
4. USB drive ports (Type A) allow you to transfer and save data to your computer using the USB flash drive supplied with the instrument (or any other similar USB drive) for record keeping and printing purposes.
5. Power inlet connects the Qubit™ 4 Fluorometer to an electrical outlet using the supplied power cord and the appropriate plug, based on the electrical outlet configuration in your country.
