Product Overview
The refurbished Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR System for Human Identification is a 96-well, 0.2 mL qPCR platform designed for forensic DNA quantification workflows. Manufacturer catalog number A34322 identifies the original desktop-computer configuration.
The instrument combines whole-plate fluorescence imaging, up to six-target multiplexing, six VeriFlex temperature zones and an interactive touchscreen in a compact benchtop design. It is intended for use with compatible human-identification quantification chemistries and analysis software, subject to the laboratory’s validation requirements.
For research, forensic or paternity use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. This is a refurbished instrument. The serial number, refurbishment work, calibration status, included computer and software, accessories, installation, warranty and service options must be confirmed in the Jant Pharmacal quotation.
96-Well HID Format
Standard 96-well, 0.2 mL block with a manufacturer-specified reaction-volume range of 10–100 µL.
Up to Six Targets
Six decoupled optical filters support multiplex fluorescence detection for compatible dyes and assay designs.
Compact Touchscreen System
Interactive touchscreen, front-loading motorized block and a 27 x 50 x 40 cm benchtop footprint.
Designed for Human Identification Workflows
The QuantStudio 5 HID configuration is designed to support real-time PCR quantification within forensic laboratory workflows. Potential applications identified by the manufacturer include:
- Forensic database workflows for laboratories without direct-amplification processes
- Forensic casework DNA quantification
- Confirmatory screening of male DNA
- Sexual-assault sample workflow support
- Assessment of sample DNA quantity and quality before downstream analysis
Assay chemistry, dye configuration, software version, calibration status and laboratory validation determine whether a specific workflow can be implemented. Manufacturer documentation describes HID Real-Time PCR Analysis Software and compatible Quantifiler assays, but these items should not be assumed to be included with a refurbished A34322 system unless listed in the quotation.
Instrument Features
Optical Detection
Bright white LED illumination, whole-plate imaging and six decoupled filters provide up to 21 filter combinations across the specified excitation and detection ranges.
Thermal Control
Peltier-based cycling, a maximum block ramp rate of 6.5°C/sec and six independent VeriFlex temperature zones support assay optimization.
Data and Operation
The touchscreen displays amplification data, while 10 GB of onboard memory is specified to store approximately 2,000–5,000 run files.

Important Refurbished-System Information
- Manufacturer catalog number A34322 originally identifies a QuantStudio 5 HID system with a desktop computer; the included refurbished components must be confirmed.
- HID Real-Time PCR Analysis Software licenses, assay kits, calibration plates, barcode reader and other accessories are not included unless expressly stated in the Jant quotation.
- Ask for the serial number, refurbishment and testing summary, cosmetic condition, calibration status and available service history.
- Confirm the computer operating system, software and firmware versions, licensing, connectivity and cybersecurity requirements.
- Confirm installation, training, shipping, warranty and post-sale support before purchase.
- The instrument is not presented for clinical diagnostic use.

Request DocumentationFrequently Asked Questions
Included components can vary by serial number. Manufacturer catalog A34322 originally denotes the desktop-computer configuration, but the Jant quotation should identify the instrument, computer, cables, software or licenses, accessories, manuals and any other included items.
This page describes the Human Identification configuration associated with manufacturer catalog number A34322: a non-interchangeable 96-well, 0.2 mL block supplied originally with a desktop computer. It should not be confused with every QuantStudio 5 configuration.
No diagnostic claim is made for this product. Manufacturer literature identifies it for research, forensic or paternity use only and states that it is not for use in diagnostic procedures.
The instrument supports multiplex detection of up to six targets when the dyes, assay design, optical configuration, chemistry and software are compatible.
Do not assume that a software license is included with a refurbished system. Confirm the exact software name, version, license status, installation media and compatible operating system in the quotation.
Request the date and results of the latest optical, thermal and dye calibration or performance verification. For applicable HID assays, confirm whether required HID ABY and HID JUN dye calibrations have been completed and remain current.
Compatibility must be evaluated for the specific product and workflow. A category link does not establish compatibility. Confirm sample type, extraction method, dyes, optical channels, cycling conditions, plate format, analysis software, intended use and laboratory validation requirements.
