Thermo Fisher / Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 12K Flex for clinical labs
Molecular microbiology vs traditional microbiology test. Worried about missing colony counts and ASTs? The good news is that physicians often prefer fast turnaround on pathogen ID and resistance markers rather than waiting for traditional micro results.

Molecular microbiology testing is definitely the way to future diagnostic testing. Here’s why the QuantStudio 12K Flex is an excellent choice for clinical labs. Here’s why the QuantStudio 12K Flex
is an excellent choice for clinical labs:
- Clinical compatibility: Designed to meet the rigorous demands of clinical environments,
ensuring reliable and accurate results. - Regulatory compliance: Supports compliance with regulatory requirements for LDTs,
providing confidence in test validity. - Precision and sensitivity: High sensitivity and precision, are essential for accurate
clinical diagnostics.
Digital PCR machine beyond Covid testing
The QuantStudio 12K Flex Real-Time PCR System can be used in various clinical settings, including for LDT molecular testing, UTI, wound panels, and a wide range of applications, such as:
Pathogen detection
Quickly and accurately identify pathogens in patient samples.
Genetic testing
Perform comprehensive genetic analyses, including mutation detection and genotyping.
Oncology research
Detect and quantify cancer biomarkers with high sensitivity

Why do labs prefer the QuantStudio 12k Flex over other PCR systems?
Low maintenance, low learning curve, flexible block formats. Labs prefer the QuantStudio 12K Flex for several reasons:

Flexibility: Multiple block formats and scalable throughput.
Precision: High sensitivity and accuracy for reliable results.
Ease of use: Intuitive software and minimal training required.
Integration: Compatible with TaqMan reagents and assays for consistent data.
Here from real users:
"The interaction with instruments through voice command is highly appreciated because typically the operator has something in their hands or gloves and so forth.”
— Mikael Kubista, Head and Founder of TATAA Biocenter AB, Sweden
Fewer reruns with precision temperature control
Most real-time PCR systems use a gradient system to control temperature in their heat block. This often results in variances that can lead to inconsistent results.
The QuantStudio heat blocks are divided into 3-6 zones to control temperature precisely. This minimizes any variables across the block. You get consistent results.
Each zone can be run at a different temperature within a single run.
So you can also set up multiple analyses with different temperature
requirements to run simultaneously.
