Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS StepOne #9205299 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS StepOne is a laboratory instrument and accessory created to conduct real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). qPCR is a technique used to quantify the amount of mRNA in a sample by measuring the amount of PCR product generated by a targeted set of DNA primers. StepOne is a self-contained PCR equipment, combining an integrated thermal cycler and optical detection system. The thermal cycler is used to amplify the target DNA sequences contained in the sample. It works by heating and cooling the sample at precise temperatures and times. The optical detection unit is then used to measure the PCR product, allowing a real-time measure of the PCR reaction. APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS StepOne is designed to be user-friendly, enabling scientists to exploit some of the most sophisticated qPCR techniques in a menu-driven, automated machine. In addition, StepOne offers a series of detection channels including SYBR Green I fluorescence and TaqMan probes. This allows researchers to customize their qPCR experiment for their particular research needs. The instrument has many other features that make it an ideal choice for laboratory and clinical use. These include precise temperature control for accurate results, flexible reaction setup, and integrated data management, which allow researchers to track and share their results. APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS StepOne also offers an intuitive graphical user interface, advanced data analysis packages, and specialized software for easy data collection and analysis. Further, it includes a wide array of consumables, reagents, and plates for a range of applications including gene expression analysis, screening, mutagenesis, and SNP genotyping. StepOne is a reliable, intuitive and versatile instrument ideally suited for today's molecular biology laboratories. It provides researchers with the analytical power and flexibility needed to explore the most sophisticated and extensive PCR techniques. These features make APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS StepOne an indispensable tool for any laboratory or clinical setting.
