The real-time thermal cycler for high performance DNA amplification and precise quantification

Analytik Jena qTOWER3 G

qPCR detection builds on the basic PCR technique and has a much wider dynamic range of analysis than conventional, end-point PCR; from a single copy to around 10^11 copies are detectable within a single run 1.Quantitative real-time PCR and subsequent amplicon detection is carried out in a closed-tube format which eliminates the need for post-PCR manipulation, such as gel electrophoresis and significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination
