System to Automate Operation of Real-Time PCR Instruments
LISTED UNDER:
Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. announced the launch of its CFX Automation System II, a robotic plate handler that enables high-throughput, walk-away real-time PCR automation for all Bio-Rad CFX Real-Time PCR Detection Systems.
The new system is ideally suited to meet the high-throughput real-time PCR requirements of today’s drug discovery and screening workflows by facilitating hands-off, around-the-clock data generation and analysis.
The system can be integrated with one or two CFX Systems while maintaining a small footprint, and includes easy-to-use software that makes automation accessible to all researchers. It is easily integrated with laboratory information management systems (LIMS) to facilitate sample tracking, save time, and minimize human error.
The automation system allows laboratories to:
- Save valuable lab space — operate two CFX Systems with a single plate handler using a fraction of the space required by other systems
- Meet changing throughput demands — begin with one real-time system and scale up to two systems when required
- Have confidence in your results — software allows for easy integration of wet-lab validated PrimePCR Assays (available in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and E.U. only).
