The complete spectrum

Clear signals from UV-A to near infrared (NIR), multiplexing for up to six targets simultaneously

Free choice of color modules

Individual color modules for amplification and detection of nucleic acids, suitable for all commercially available dyes

Freedom of research

Free choice of consumables, reagents, and assays

Unparalleled temperature homogeneity

± 0.15 °C across the whole block (industry standard: up to ± 0.4 °C)

And in terms of noise

it’s barely audible.

Device Selection

Block formats:

• 96-Well Silver Block
• 384-Well Aluminum Block

Operation:

• PC –controlled
• Stand-alone version for 96-well block format: Edit your temperature-time log, monitor amplification, and display Ct values with our touch software.

Block Performance

The Heating and Cooling Rates: No Overshoot Needed

Temperature is targeted precisely and quickly (high ramping rate)

The Conductivity: Homogeneous across the Block

Deviation of ± 0.15 °C (market standard up to ± 0.4 °C)

Linear Gradient Tool: Gradient as linear as possible

• 12 temperature ranges for the 96 block
• 24 temperature ranges for the 384 block

Network & Software

The Network: Four cyclers, one PC

• Up to four thermocyclers can be connected to a single PC
• Ethernet connectivity for network integration

The Software: Maintaining an Overview

• Clear and modular
• License-free for qTOWER iris
• Available in multiple languages
• Uses the common analysis methods:
• Quantification (absolute/relative)
• Gene expression
• Genotyping (alleles: heterogeneous/homogeneous)
• Multigene/multiplate analysis
• Endpoint and melting curve analysis
• Data output as desired: Build your own template for the PDF of your result report for sending and documenting

Ergonomics & Safety

Ergonomics: Elegance in a quiet laboratory

• Whisper-quiet operation for a quiet laboratory atmosphere
• Ventilation and space-saving vertical design: multiple devices can be placed directly next to each other

Operational Safety: Thorough checks

• Calibrated at the factory, no recalibration necessary for new dyes (but possible)
• Device self-test before every run
• 10-year guarantee on optical components and hinges
