The IF8-M fluorescence reader is an extremely compact on-deck fluorometer module for microvolume nucleic acid quantification and protein concentration measurement. The device operates on the principle of fluorescent dye method, allowing simultaneous fluorescence quantification of 8 samples to obtain precise test results. It is specifically designed for automated workstations, focusing on post-extraction nucleic acid concentration quantification and quality control of the DNA input in NGS library preparation workstations. The device can be controlled via the workstation, and when integrated with a robotic arm, it facilitates automated workflow. Its compact design takes up just one 96-well plate position on deck, and it can be tailored and adapted to accommodate different workstation setups based on the workflow.
