Invitrogen Qubit® Fluorometer

The Qubit® 2.0 is a fluorometer capable of measuring low concentrations of several different kinds of analytes, including RNA, DNA and protein.  Further information on the Qubit® 2.0   may be found at Invitrogen's website.   Training is scheduled on a per user basis.  The cost of the training is $73.00 an hour plus the cost of reagents. Training typically takes 30 minutes. After being trained to use the fluorometer, a user will have independent access to the instrument.  We use Google Calendar for instrument scheduling.  The reagent fee for instrument usage is $1.75 per sample.  Two standards are run every time an assay is performed, and must be counted as samples for billing purposes.  In other words a minimum of three samples will be run, two standards and a user's sample. Trained users may use their own reagents and consumables, and will incur a $5.00 access charge when using the instrument. Data maybe saved to your flash drive*.  

 The GEC stocks both the  dsDNA HS Assay, and the RNA Assay for use with the Qubit.
