Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx real-time PCR instrument

The Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx real-time PCR instrument is now available as a platform suitable for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) use in Australia and New Zealand. Clinical laboratories that develop in vitro molecular diagnostic assays in oncology, genetic disease and infectious disease can leverage the instrument’s regulatory status to develop tests for clinical applications.

The instrument enables scientists to complete real-time PCR amplifications and accurately and precisely quantifies nucleic acids in less than 40 minutes. The instrument’s software suite includes customisable security settings and versatile security, auditing and e-signature applications that allow users to record all instrument operations, supporting requirements of clinical laboratories to work in a secure environment. Data analysis tools enable scientists to design laboratory tests that simplify detection and quantification of target nucleic acids.
