Every model shares the same cartridge chemistry — pick by channel count and throughput.
Qsep1 / Qsep1-Plus
Single-channel portable CE for research and field use. Full DNA, RNA, and protein analysis. Pairs with the Qamp Mini for POCT workflows.
Qsep100 2.0 / Advance
Automated single-channel CE for routine molecular QC. 1–96 samples, DQN/RQN reporting. Advance model adds protein and DV200 analysis.
Qsep400
Four-channel high-throughput CE for production-scale NGS library QC. Runs 96 samples in 1.5 hours with integrated PC and touchscreen.
Qsep Ultra
Integrated PCR + CE platform. Amplify and size in one continuous workflow — no tube transfer, no gel, sample-to-answer.
Qamp Mini Thermal Cycler
Palm-sized thermal cycler for POCT. USB-powered, programmable chip protocols, pairs with any Qsep for a complete sample-to-result workflow.
Pick by throughput.
All Qsep models share the same cartridge chemistry — the only thing that scales is channels and capacity.
