Used BIO-RAD CFX96 #293761951 for sale

BIO-RAD CFX96 is a state-of-the-art real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) equipment used to amplify, detect and quantify nucleic acids in the laboratory. It offers high performance, reliability and flexibility for a wide range of PCR applications. Compared to traditional gel-based systems, BIO-RAD CFX 96 provides up to four times more amplified product and can accurately quantify samples with as few as one copy of target sequences. It is also ideal for working with low sample numbers and repetitive experiments. CFX96 consists of a user-friendly and intuitive software-controlled instrument, a 96-well reaction block that holds both the sample and the master mix that is used to detect target sequences, and a wide range of thermal and optical components. It utilizes a foil-coated aluminum block that enables precise and uniform temperature control. It also brings improvements to data accuracy by using ramping programs to slowly heat and cool samples during the PCR process. Furthermore, CFX 96 includes a filter-free, dual-fluorescence optics system containing both a heater/shaker and a detector. This unit captures fluorescence signals from both the reporter dye and the quencher dye to rapidly amplify target sequences. This machine records real-time data for each well and transmits to the integrated software to facilitate data analysis. Finally, the tool provides an infrared light to detect water evaporation during PCR cycles and automatically adjusts the heat accordingly. BIO-RAD CFX96 can process 96 samples in parallel and offers reproducibility, accuracy, and reliability for both traditional and novel experimental protocols. The asset also includes a range of data visualization and analysis tools, such as well, gene, and duplicate tracking, and can be used for applications such as qPCR, melt curve analysis, reverse transcription, and gene expression studies. With its powerful capabilities, BIO-RAD CFX 96 can be used in a variety of laboratories or research facilities.
