EzCube Triple Channel Fluorometer | High-Sensitivity DNA, RNA & Protein Quantification
4.8 out of 5 from 43 reviews
The Blue-Ray EzCube is a triple channel microvolume fluorometer that quantifies DNA, RNA and protein from 1 µl using blue (480 nm), green (535 nm) and red (630 nm) LED excitation, with a 7-inch touchscreen and an open system for common assay kits.
The EzCube delivers high sensitivity DNA quantification, RNA evaluation and protein analysis, and is more sensitive than UV absorbance methods. It is built for low concentration DNA samples and critical NGS library prep workflows.
A built-in reagent calculator, USB data export and a responsive touchscreen make it a plug and play fluorometer for DNA and RNA assays. Global Bioscience Solutions supplies and supports the EzCube across India for genomics cores, research institutes, biotech companies and clinical research labs.

Key Applications in Molecular Biology
As a highly sensitive nucleic acid quantification instrument, the EzCube excels where UV spectrophotometry struggles: ultra-low concentrations and complex sample mixtures.
- Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)The preferred fluorometer for NGS library quantification. Determine library concentration accurately, even with sparse target material, for reliable downstream sequencing.
- Low-Concentration DNA and RNA AssaysIdeal as a fluorometer for low concentration RNA samples and cfDNA quantification. Dyes bind only the target, so contaminants are ignored for true dsDNA high sensitivity assay results.
- Protein QuantitationA high sensitivity protein quantification fluorometer that is faster and more accurate than traditional colorimetric assays.
- PCR, Cloning and Sample QCCheck template, amplicon and plasmid concentrations in seconds before downstream steps, using just 1 µl.
Fluorometer vs UV Spectrophotometer: Which Do You Need?
| Factor | EzCube Fluorometer | UV Spectrophotometer |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Target-specific fluorescent dye | UV absorbance at 260/280 nm |
| Low concentration samples | High sensitivity | Less sensitive |
| Contaminant interference | Ignores RNA and protein contaminants | Contaminants affect the reading |
| Best for | NGS libraries, cfDNA, dsDNA, RNA, protein | Fast purity and concentration checks |
Many labs run both. Pair the EzCube with the EzDrop 1000 micro volume spectrophotometer for purity checks and fluorometric quantification in one workflow.
How to Quantify DNA or RNA with the EzCube
- Prepare the working solution with your preferred assay kit, using the built-in reagent calculator for volumes.
- Add 1 µl to 20 µl of sample to a 0.5 ml thin wall PCR tube and mix.
- Select the channel (blue, green or red) on the 7-inch touchscreen.
- Read the tube and review the concentration on screen.
- Export results to a USB flash drive for your records.

Frequently Asked Questions About the EzCube Fluorometer
What is a microvolume fluorometer used for?
A microvolume fluorometer quantifies DNA, RNA and protein with high precision from as little as 1 µl. It is essential for workflows such as NGS library prep, where the exact sample concentration is critical.
Why is a fluorometer more sensitive than UV absorbance?
A fluorometer uses dyes that emit light only when bound to the target molecule, for example dsDNA. This makes it more sensitive than UV absorbance and more accurate for low concentration DNA samples, because RNA and protein contaminants are ignored.
What fluorescent channels does the EzCube have?
The EzCube has three LED channels: blue at 480 nm, green at 535 nm and red at 630 nm. Together they cover a wide range of high-sensitivity fluorescence assays.
What kind of sample tubes does the EzCube use?
The EzCube reads 0.5 ml PCR tubes. Thin wall PCR tubes are recommended for maximum light transmission and an accurate fluorescent reading.
Is the EzCube an open system?
Yes. It is an open system fluorometer compatible with common kits from various manufacturers, so your lab can choose its preferred reagents for DNA and RNA quantification.
