qPCR
Improve your quality assurance
by analyzing DNA on-site
In the emerging and accelerating craft beer market, product quality is essential. To address this, we provide you with a qPCR system that is accurate, reliable, and cost-efficient. We do this by offering a validated open-source solution.
Our solution allows you to source materials directly from suppliers, dropping costs significantly and enabling you to reach standards on a bio-molecular level.
The solution involves beer-specific assays, built on a revolutionary hardware platform by Quantabio, that give you the highest degree of scientific data while being completely transparent and in-house.
Data Collection
How It Works
Our straightforward workflow means that anyone can get started with qPCR.
- Collect sample
- Simultaneously extract DNA and purify sample
- Prepare master mix
- Load Q tubes and begin qPCR cycles
- Start immediate data analysis with the Q
