3 Biorad qPCR devices from 2018, used, from a bankrupt estate at High Tech Campus Eindhoven.
The Bio-Rad CFX96 combined with the C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler is a powerful and flexible real-time PCR (qPCR) system for DNA amplification, gene expression analysis, genotyping, and molecular diagnostics. The system combines the precise temperature control of the C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler with the advanced optical detection of the CFX96 real-time PCR module.
Thanks to the modular design, various PCR modules can be easily swapped, making the system suitable for a wide range of applications within research, pharmaceutical, biotech, and clinical laboratories. The CFX96 supports multiplex qPCR with detection of up to five targets simultaneously per well.
The combination is known for its reliability, user-friendly touchscreen operation, and excellent reproducibility. Within laboratories, the C1000/CFX96 series is often praised for its long service life and robust performance. 🛠️ Technical specifications
