BIOQUANT systems require an 3+ GHz Intel processor, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GPU, 512 GB storage, Windows 10/11 pro 64-bit, and a monitor that supports at least a 1920x1200 display. An open PCIe slot for half-height card is required for the BIOQUANT Imaging Board. A serial port is required for a tracking device, such as a motorized stage or stage encoders.

Possible Upgrades

BIOQUANT benefits from higher core processor speeds more than multiple processor cores. Other upgrades could include: additional RAM, expanded storage, and a higher resolution display. Some labs find dual monitors or tablet displays useful.

Optional Tablet Displays

Some BIOQUANT users prefer to draw directly on the monitor with a pen instead of using a mouse. In this case, a tablet display is beneficial.
