Product Description
Demo Units Available
The Mastercycler® ep realplex combines the highest performance and the most advance features of a 96 well real time PCR system. Select between two available detection systems. All systems are equipped with a 96 LED array to excite the fluorescent dyes in each individual PCR sample. The intuitive software interface ensures a simple, fast PCR and assay setup.
Features
- 96 individual LED array for even excitation across the whole thermoblock with lifetime warranty
- High speed real-time PCR , silver block up to 8°C/s
- Fast optical detection capabilities eliminate the need for lengthy extension/elongation
- No restrictions—use reagents, kits and consumables of your choice.
- SteadySlope® gradient technology and Triple Circuit Technology allows optimization in a single experiment
- Realplex software is intuitive and user friendly including six evaluation models: plate layout interface, raw data monitoring, quantification and relative quantification, gene identification, endpoint detection, and ± assay
- Two channel system with emission at 520/550nm
- Four-channel system with emission at 520/550/580/605nm provides full flexibility for multiplexing
