Compact, high-performance real-time PCR system
The Gentier 48R is a real-time PCR instrument developed to meet the needs of mobile laboratories, medium-sized research units and on-site testing. Thanks to its compact design (260×400×260 mm) and light weight (11 kg), it is easily transportable and adaptable to various working environments. It incorporates dual-channel fluorescent detection technology, allowing simultaneous analysis of two types of targets per tube on a 48-well plate. This configuration optimises testing efficiency while reducing repetitive handling.
Speed and accuracy for reliable results
The Gentier 48R stands out for its exceptional processing speed. It achieves a maximum heating rate of ≥8.0 °C/s and a cooling rate of ≥6.2 °C/s, allowing a standard PCR amplification programme to be completed in just 40 minutes. Temperature accuracy is maintained at ±0.1 °C, ensuring excellent reproducibility of results. The system performs a complete fluorescent scan in just 2 seconds for all 48 wells, significantly speeding up analyses, particularly when using the melting curve.
Autonomy, connectivity and data processing
The Gentier 48R is equipped with a 7-inch colour touch screen and a stand-alone control system, allowing it to be used without a computer. It can also be connected to a PC via USB or local area network for centralised management. It supports up to 10 instruments controlled by a single computer. The device includes comprehensive analysis software, compatible with absolute and relative quantification methods, melting curves, genotyping and endpoint fluorescence analysis. It offers storage capacity for over 1,000 experimental files, with export via USB stick. In stand-alone mode, results can be printed directly via an optional thermal printer.
The system also offers customisable report templates for different sectors, allowing laboratories to create their own report format. Thanks to its compatibility with isothermal amplification technologies, the Gentier 48R is suitable for a wide range of applications, including food safety testing, point-of-care testing (POCT), public health and scientific research.
