3 Nov 2011

Product news

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. is pleased to introduce the CFX Connect real-time PCR detection system, designed for researchers who are looking for reliable, high performance real-time PCR with a limited budget. Requiring a computer for operation, the CFX Connect system, offers the same thermal performance as the CFX96 Touch™ real-time PCR system.

The CFX Connect system uses scanning optics shuttle design designed to read each well individually with high sensitivity and no cross talk in order to deliver optimal quantitative results. The CFX Connect detects two fluorophores per well in duplex experiments and detects SYBR® Green or EvaGreen® in singleplex experiments.

The Additional key benefits are as follows:

•Effortless optimization — the system is designed to save time and reduce costs by optimizing assays in a single run using the thermal gradient.

• Accurate data analysis — CFX Manager™ software offers an intuitive user interface and the ability to quickly and accurately validate and analyze data

• Accelerated publication submission — provides minimum information for publication of quantitative real-time PCR experiments (MIQE) annotations and real-time PCR data markup language (RDML) files using Biogazelle’s qbasePLUS software
