Mastercycler ep realplex² Thermal Cycler – Precision and performance for your real-time PCR
The Mastercycler ep realplex² thermocycler from Eppendorf is a state-of-the-art solution for real-time PCR, meeting the growing demand for precision, flexibility and efficiency in research, diagnostic and biotechnology laboratories. This compact system, combining the robustness of a high-performance thermocycler with a highly sensitive fluorescence detection platform, is designed to optimise every step of the amplification reaction while reducing the risk of analytical errors.
With its two fluorescence detection channels, the Mastercycler ep realplex² allows simultaneous detection of multiple genetic targets in a single reaction tube. This multiplexing capability makes it possible to study multiple genes, internal controls or pathogen targets in a highly reproducible format. Accurate results are ensured by ultra-stable LED excitation technology, coupled with a sensitive CCD camera that captures emitted signals uniformly and reliably.
The thermal performance of the aluminium block is optimised by integrated gradient technology, allowing researchers to quickly identify the ideal amplification conditions. This feature is particularly useful when developing new protocols or optimising primers. Precise temperature control, combined with rapid temperature ramping, significantly reduces PCR cycle times while ensuring exemplary homogeneity between wells.
The realplex® software provides an intuitive interface for programming PCR cycles, viewing real-time amplification curves and analysing post-run data. Features such as automatic normalisation, PCR efficiency calculation and standard curves enable rigorous quantitative analysis without complex manipulation. Compatibility with 96-well plate formats and 0.2 mL tubes further enhances the versatility of the device.
Designed to fit easily into any laboratory environment, the Mastercycler ep realplex² also stands out for its compact and quiet design. The attention to ergonomics and ease of use makes it suitable for both academic laboratories and industrial environments. Its scalable architecture allows for the addition of complementary modules to expand functionality, offering excellent long-term value for money.
