The QPCR-500 Real-Time PCR System is a high specification, economically priced real time thermal cycler that accommodates a unique 48-well polypropylene PCR plate utilizing the same geometry as standard 384-well plates, but only 1/8 of the size. This enables users to dramatically reduce the qPCR reagent volumes compared to traditional 96-well instruments, whilst still producing a strong fluorescence signal. Minimizing the plate size also significantly improves thermal uniformity. A minimum volume of 5 µl is validated, cutting reagent costs in half and making more efficient use of expensive and hard to acquire template DNA samples. MIQE compliant open license software gives confidence when it comes to publishing your data. Eco48 allows for simple multiplex analysis with up to four dyes at once. Fast cycling enables several experiments per day, all at an economical price. The PCR system is an open platform that can utilize any chemistry, dye or PCR reagent. The easy to use software, makes analysis simple and fast.
