BioRad iCycler-IQ 5 Multi-Color Real-Time PCR

The iQ5 real-time PCR detection system offers a fresh design for Bio-Rad's new generation of real-time PCR instrumentation. Like its predecessors, the iCycler iQ and MyiQ systems, the iQ5 optical system is a modular upgrade to the iCycler thermal cycler with 96-well reaction block. This powerful new system offers five-target analysis capabilities for multiplex PCR, coupled with a completely redesigned software package (software is NOT included).

The iCycler thermal cycler provides the optimum performance for PCR and other thermal cycling techniques. Incorporating a Peltier driven heating and cooling design results in rapid heating and cooling performance. Rigorous testing of thermal block temperature accuracy, uniformity, consistency and heating/cooling rates insure reliable and reproducible experimental results.
