Abstract

The equipment "QuantStudio 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System" (Life Technologies) is the newest equipment of Real Time-PCR produced by Life Technologies and has the capacity to analyze 96 tubes in a 10 µL of final volume in 45 minutes of running (thermal block in fast mode - included in the equipment). This would contribute for the project conclusion on time. Moreover, there is a possibility of upgrading the equipment with a thermal block that analyses 384 tubes in 35 minutes of running together with an automation system, filling the needs of many researchers in the scientific community, therefore. In order to merge the project requirements with the multi-user proposition, it was obtained a new economic proposal where this newly equipment ("QuantStudio 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System") can be purchased by the same amount approved by FAPESP for an older equipment ("Vii7 Real-Time PCR System"). In this way, the acquisition of a modern equipment is of great interest to the program of multi-user equipment, since the search of the scientific community for newer technologies is always continuous.
