Bio-Rad Laboratories CFX Opus 96 and CFX Opus 384 Real-Time PCR Systems

Bio-Rad Laboratories’ CFX Opus 96 and CFX Opus 384 Real-Time PCR Systems are suitable for research and genomic testing as well as in pathogen detection and infectious disease testing. The systems employ the same optical design used across the company’s portfolio of CFX products and offer enhanced usability with features designed for academic, commercial and biopharma labs to conduct basic and translational research, process development and quality control.

The products’ block design is said to deliver tight thermal uniformity for improved well-to-well consistency during real-time PCR experiments. A redesigned touchscreen interface and flexible connectivity options meanwhile provide an intuitive and efficient experience for real-time PCR users.

Bio-Rad has also announced early access to BR.io — a cloud-based software platform that enables users to design experiments, analyse data and access their experiments remotely. Integration with the platform provides seamless data transfer and the ability for users to monitor instrument status anywhere from the cloud, offering users a simplified qPCR experience.
