0.5 mL Fluorescence Detection Tubes for Smart-Q 100 (F1001-T, Pack of 250)

The F1001-T is the 0.5 mL fluorescence detection tube consumable for the Accuris F1001 Smart-Q 100 Fluorometer — sold as pack of 250 tubes. Per the Smart-Q 100 brochure: *"The Smart-Q 100 readily accepts 0.5 mL optically clear tubes."* These are the per-sample workflow consumables — each fluorometric quantification measurement consumes one tube (load sample, place in fluorometer chamber, read).

Key Specifications

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU

Detection tube consumable — Smart-Q 100 chassis only. Order this SKU when:

1. Initial chassis commissioning — order an initial supply of detection tubes when commissioning a new F1001 Smart-Q 100 chassis to support workflow startup.
2. Workflow-recurring replenishment — every fluorometric quantification measurement consumes one tube; pack-quantity replenishment cadence depends on workflow throughput.
3. Multi-chassis fluorometric quantification facilities — labs running multiple Smart-Q 100 chassis maintain consolidated tube inventory.

Smart-Q 100 vs Smart-Q 800 — Different Tube SKUs

The Smart-Q fluorometer family uses different tube formats per chassis tier:

Tube formats are not cross-compatible — confirm chassis pairing at order. The F1001-T 0.5 mL tubes fit the Smart-Q 100; for Smart-Q 800 workflows, order F1008-T or F1008-T-8 instead.

Smart-Q 100 Workflow

Per the Smart-Q fluorometer product family literature, the F1001 Smart-Q 100 is the single-tube fluorometric quantification fluorometer in the family — designed for workflows where samples are quantified one-at-a-time (vs the F1008 Smart-Q 800's higher-throughput 8-tube parallel format).

Per-sample workflow:

1. Sample preparation — combine sample with the appropriate F1000-series fluorometric quantification kit reagent (e.g., F1000-BR for Broad-Range dsDNA, F1000-RBR for Broad-Range RNA, F1000-SD for ssDNA)
2. Load tube — pipette the sample-reagent mixture into the F1001-T 0.5 mL detection tube
3. Insert in fluorometer — place the tube in the Smart-Q 100 chamber
4. Read — the fluorometer measures the fluorescence and reports the calculated nucleic-acid concentration

The 0.5 mL tube format supports the standard fluorometric assay volume (typically 200 µL final reaction volume; the larger tube volume provides handling headroom).

Application Profile

Per-sample fluorometric DNA / RNA / protein quantification — the workhorse application across academic research, biotech R&D, clinical-research, and sequencing-prep workflows.

NGS library prep quantification — pre-sequencing quantification of library DNA before pooling and loading into sequencer flow cells.

RT-qPCR template prep — quantification of RNA / cDNA template before RT-qPCR setup.

Protein quantification — fluorometric protein quantification workflows with compatible F1000-series protein-quantification kits.

Method-development workflows — protocol-validation runs where per-sample quantification supports tracking of extraction efficiency or library-prep yield.

Educational laboratory fluorometric quantification exercises — undergraduate / graduate molecular-biology coursework requires detection tubes for student-cohort fluorometric quantification practice.

Ordering & Configuration

Per-sample workflow consumable. Each fluorometric quantification measurement consumes one F1001-T tube. Plan procurement to match the workflow's per-month or per-quarter quantification volume.

Reagent kit pairing. The F1001-T tubes are the per-sample physical vessel; the workflow also requires the appropriate F1000-series fluorometric quantification kit reagent (chemistry-specific). Both consumables are workflow-required.

Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (F1001 in inventory), workflow throughput (per-month quantification cycle count), F1000-series kit reagent inventory, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Accuris standard consumable terms — confirm at quote.
