The Master Science 6-Channel Real-Time PCR runs quantitative PCR on 96 wells with six fluorescence channels read at the same time. A side-scan optical design collects all channels together and scans a full plate in 5 seconds, giving strong signals with low background.
Fast block ramping up to 8 °C/s, a 0.1 to 42 °C gradient and an automatic hot lid support qualitative and absolute quantification, relative quantification, genotyping, allele identification, HRM and melting curve analysis.
