Instrumentation:

Bio-Rad CFX384 Real-Time Detection System

The CFX384 Touch is a real-time PCR instrument in a 384-well format that performs high-throughput data acquisition. The CFX384 Touch System utilizes temperature control and sensitive, 4-color detection optics to deliver reliable and repeatable qPCR results for singleplex or multiplex reactions. Quickly set up runs and monitor amplification traces in real time on the integrated LCD touch screen, or use CFX Maestro Software to easily and intuitively design your experiment and analyze results from a connected computer.The CFX384 has up to four-target detection, thermal cycler, stand-alone functionality, and powerful software, the CFX384 Touch System was designed to advance your qPCR.
