What is a Real-Time PCR Machine?
A real-time PCR machine, also known as quantitative PCR (qPCR), is designed to monitor the amplification of DNA during the PCR process in real-time. Unlike traditional PCR, which only provides results at the end of the process, real-time PCR offers dynamic data collection, allowing researchers to observe the reaction as it progresses.
Key Features of Real-Time PCR Machines:
- High Sensitivity and Specificity: Real-time PCR machines are equipped with sensitive detection systems that can accurately measure fluorescence signals from DNA-binding dyes or probe-based assays. This ensures high specificity in detecting target sequences, even in complex samples.
- HighRapid Cycle Times: Speed is a critical factor in many applications, from clinical diagnostics to high-throughput screening. The PHCbi QPCR system, for example, offers a reaction time as short as 30 minutes, significantly reducing the time to results.
- HighMultiplexing Capabilities: Multiplexing allows the simultaneous detection of multiple targets in a single reaction. The PHCbi QPCR system is equipped with four standard fluorescence filters (FAM, HEX, ROX, and Cy5), enabling the use of various dyes and probes for complex assays.
- HighPrecision Temperature Control: Accurate temperature control is essential for the success of PCR reactions. The PHCbi QPCR system utilizes a Peltier element for precise heating and cooling, ensuring uniform temperature distribution across all wells and minimizing thermal variations.
- HighUser-Friendly Interface: Ease of use is a key consideration for laboratory equipment. The PHCbi QPCR system features an intuitive touch panel interface and user-friendly software, making it accessible for both novice and experienced users. The software offers streamlined setup, data analysis, and reporting functions.
