Rotor-Gene Q 5plex: Precision and Performance for Your Real-Time PCR Analyses
The Rotor-Gene Q 5plex is a real-time PCR instrument designed to meet the highest standards of precision and performance. Thanks to its innovative rotating design, it ensures unparalleled thermal and optical uniformity, eliminating sample-to-sample variations and edge effects often encountered in traditional block-based instruments. This feature enables fast and reliable PCR analyses, essential for diverse applications such as gene expression analysis, microRNA detection, virus detection, SNP genotyping, and HRM analysis.
The Rotor-Gene Q 5plex's optical system is equipped with up to 6 channels spanning UV to infrared wavelengths, enabling flexible and precise detection. The high-energy excitation sources and photomultiplier detector ensure fast and sensitive data acquisition. Additionally, the software allows for the creation of new excitation/detection wavelength combinations, providing flexibility for future applications.
The thermal performance of the Rotor-Gene Q 5plex is equally impressive, with a temperature range of 35 to 99°C, an accuracy of ±0.5°C, and a resolution of ±0.02°C. Fast temperature ramp-up rates (>15°C/s for heating and >20°C/s for cooling) enable short cycle times, with typical run times of 40 cycles in 45 minutes with QIAGEN RG kits.
The Rotor-Gene Q 5plex is also designed for ease of use and minimal maintenance. Its robust design with few moving parts and a short optical path length reduces maintenance requirements, allowing users to focus on their research. Additionally, the Optical Temperature Verification (OTV) kit allows for quick and easy verification of thermal accuracy without the need for technician intervention.
The Rotor-Gene Q 5plex is an essential tool for laboratories requiring accurate and reliable real-time PCR analyses. Its flexibility, performance, and ease of use make it an ideal choice for a wide range of research applications.
