Chapter 2 Product Overview
This chapter mainly describes the usage, characteristics, specifications and performance parameters of MQ4 fluorescence quantitative PCR system.
2.1 Product usage
The MQ4 model is an ultra-portable qPCR system with a large 10-inch touch screen for integrated operation. The product is developed based on our multi-channel fluorescence imaging optical system with CMOS bio-image sensor. The product can be widely used in universities and research institutes, CDC, Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, Public Security Criminal Evidence Identification Center, veterinary stations, food companies and pharmaceutical companies.
2.2 Product Features
1) Efficient and fast: with ultra-fast temperature rise and fall system and unique fluorescence collection chip technology, fast detection can be achieved without specific consumables.
2) Touch operation: 10-inch LCD touch screen, integrated touch operation, no external computer, simple and convenient.
3) Lightweight and portable: compact and portable body (247*188*133mm), light weight (2.6kg), easy to move, strong environmental adaptability.
4) Stable and reliable: the whole machine has no moving parts, and the structure is sturdy and durable without regular calibration even after a long time of use.
5) Intelligent management: optional 4G module allows remote management or cloud management of experimental data as needed.
6) Multiple options: Support 2 or 4 fluorescence channels (more channels can be customized), suitable for most of current dyes, no cross interference between channels, no need for regular calibration maintenance.
7) Stable light source: independent LED light source for each fluorescence channel, stable and non-decaying LED light source, no need for regular replacement.
8) High sensitivity chip: the unique "Ultra-Low-Light CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) Chips", millisecond-level extremely fast shooting, stable and reliable data.
