Real-time PCR detection system

The Bio-Rad CFX96 real-time PCR detection system features an optical reaction module that builds on the power and flexibility of the C1000 thermal cycler, creating an easy-to-install, real-time PCR system.

The system delivers sensitive, reliable detection for real-time PCR applications, including absolute quantification, genetic variation analysis and gene expression. The flexible, easy-to-use CFX Manager software accommodates the needs of all users, whether performing a real-time PCR experiment or analysing a comprehensive gene expression study.

Key benefits of the system include: long lasting solid-state components with LEDs and photodiodes for reliable results; quick installation and factory-calibrated optics; fast thermal cycling, which produces results in less than 30 mins; a thermal cycler gradient feature, which optimises reactions in a single experiment; minimal sample and reagent usage; several data acquisition modes, including a single-channel fast-scan option for SYBR green; and email notification upon run completion.

The system offers users a way to achieve sensitive target detection in single or multiplex assays for a variety of real-time PCR applications, in addition to reliable performance and throughput options. The software enables rapid quantitative and built-in gene expression analysis and also has data analysis tools.
