With this open system you are well equipped for all your projects.
The qTOWER iris is a powerful device that can process up to six targets simultaneously. It delivers clear signals across the spectrum, from near infrared (NIR) to UV-A. Best of all, the unit is factory calibrated, so there is no need to recalibrate when using new dyes.
The qTOWER iris is ergonomically designed and convinces with its practical functions. Before each run, it performs a self-test to ensure proper functioning. In addition, the fibre optics can be checked with the help of the fibre check system.
The mechanics of the qTOWER iris are extremely reliable and function without compromise. At the same time, the qTOWER iris ensures a quiet and pleasant atmosphere in the laboratory with its whisper-quiet operation.
The qTOWER iris offers you maximum flexibility. Colour modules are available individually and the dyes are just as freely selectable as the consumables.
The unit is factory calibrated so there is no need to recalibrate when you want to use new dyes. For weaker probes, it is possible to selectively amplify the signal with the gain setting in the software for optimal results.

Biometra TAdvanced & qTOWERiris
In this application note, explore the preparation of DNA amplicon sequencing libraries for NGS using the NEBNext® Ultra™ DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® (New England Biolabs GmbH) on the Biometra TAdvanced 96 SG and performed library quantification using the real-time thermal cycler qTOWERiris.
Perform a six-color probe-based assay without signal crosstalk and calibration effort
Currently, most commercial detection assays identify up to four different targets, and rarely up to five genes. A major challenge lies in the precise separation of individual fluorescence signals across different channels. This is one of the main reasons why there are still relatively few assays using more than five different dyes for detection.
Thanks to the new technology featuring a unique multicolor LED light source and extended wavelength ranges in qTOWERiris, along with a clever combination of dyes used for probe labeling, real-time PCR with up to six targets, without crosstalk and the need for expensive calibration reagents, is now possible.
