With the CFX96
system, you can:
- Get great results
right away — quick installation and factory-calibrated optics let you
set up the system in seconds
- Fit experiments into
your schedule — fast thermal cycling produces results in <30 minutes
- Save research time —
thermal gradient feature lets you optimize reactions in a single
experiment
- Minimize sample and
reagent usage — reliable results obtained with sample volumes as low as
10 μl
- Rely on performance —
innovative technologies with long-lasting LEDs and solid-state
components provide maximal reliability and optimal quantitative results
- Analyze results when
and where you want — software can send e-mail notification with
attached data file when the run is finished
- Easily expand your
throughput when you need to — up to 4 instruments can be controlled by
a single computer
The CFX96 system's solid-state optical technology (six filtered LEDs,
each with a corresponding filtered photodiode) maximizes fluorescence
detection for specific dyes in specific channels, providing sensitive
detection for precise quantitation and target discrimination. Scanning
just above the sample plate, the optics shuttle individually
illuminates and reads fluorescence from each well with high sensitivity
and no cross talk. At every position and with every scan, the optics
shuttle is reproducibly centered above each well, so the light path is
always optimal and there is no need to sacrifice data collection in one
of the channels to normalize to a passive reference.
MyiQ Thermal Cycler (BioRad)
An
Easy-to-Use Real-Time PCR Instrument From the Experts in Quantitative
PCR
The new
MyiQ real-time PCR detection system offers an affordable alternative
for the detection of common green fluorescent dyes such as FAM and SYBR
Green I. This system interfaces directly with the iCycler thermal
cycler, offering superior features such as thermal gradient and
Peltier-effect driven performance. The MyiQ real-time PCR detection
system is a perfect solution for those just getting started with this
technology as well as those looking for additional instruments to
handle increasing routine assay demands. This system was developed by
the same experts at Bio-Rad who have pioneered performance in real-time
PCR. The MyiQ delivers the same excellent-quality data as the iCycler
iQ real-time detection system.
The iQ5 real-time PCR detection system
The iQ5 real-time PCR detection
system offers a fresh
design for Bio-Rad's new generation of real-time PCR instrumentation.
Like its predecessors, the iCycler iQ and MyiQ systems, the iQ5 optical
system is a modular upgrade to the iCycler thermal cycler with 96-well
reaction block. This powerful new system offers five-target analysis
capabilities for multiplex PCR, coupled with a completely redesigned
software package.
The iQ5
optical system software offers a full suite of enhanced data collection
and data analysis options, including tools for gene expression analysis
that measure relative quantities without a standard curve. Regardless
of your PCR application, you will find that the iQ5 real-time PCR
detection system is the ultimate system for value and flexibility.

Chromo4™
Four-Color Real-Time Detector (Bio-Rad)
The Chromo4 unit is a real-time detector that can be added to
a DNA Engine® cycler
as
readily as any of our interchangeable sample blocks.
The
MJ Research® Chromo4 detector easily converts any DNA Engine
thermal cycler into a real-time system, by simply swapping with any of
our
user-changeable sample blocks. The small size and flexibility of this
instrument allow it to keep pace with the evolving needs of the
laboratory.

copy, while delivering a linear range of up to ten orders of magnitude
in starting copy number (with appropriate chemistry).
- Researcher-oriented
software allows quantification of samples and generation of melting
curves to verify product identity.
- Innovative
optical system incorporates an array of 96 LEDs for excitation and
a pair of sensitive PMTs for detection in a robust, no-moving-part
design.
- High
sample capacity accommodates up to 96 samples in
standard, low-profile microplates or strip tubes making specialized
disposables unnecessary.
- A
compact footprint (34cm wide x 47cm deep x 60cm
high) ensures that the Opticon system comfortably fits on any lab bench.
 The
MiniOpticon uses illumination technology similar to
that of the widely used Opticon™
2 system—samples are sequentially illuminated by a fixed array of
48 blue-green light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Each LED beam is precisely
focused onto its corresponding well to ensure minimal crosstalk and
light scattering. Crosstalk is further reduced by sequentially
illuminating and detecting each well. LEDs provide a long-lived,
maintenance-free excitation source, for years of uninterrupted
performance. Emitted fluorescence is detected by one of two filtered,
sensitive photodiodes. This innovative no-moving-parts design
allows accurate detection in a compact and robust package for real-time
PCR applications and gel-free DNA analysis. Product
