The main features of the Thermal Cycler Dice
™
Real Time System III are as follows:
【
TP950
】
The 96-well reaction block of aluminum with high power peltier units is use.
Using the 96-well plate [0.1mL], 8-tube strip [0.1mL] or single tube [0.1mL].
Original calibration processing eliminates the need for calibration using secondary
fluorescent dye. This reduces running costs and reagent preparation time.
The miniature design saves space by using the smallest width and height possible.
With an internal mirror and built-in tilt and sliding lid mechanism, the device can be
stored on a shelf, but is still easy to operate.
( Main Unit Dimensions: Width 290 x Depth 575 x Height 360 [mm]
)
The CCD camera system gives no difference in measuring time between wells.
The system includes automatic compensation for stable detection, maintenance
functions, measurement of the
50,000 hours life of the LED source, and easy
optical calibration functions.
Expandability is provided for by allowing installation of a maximum of four (4) types
of filter unit. Two fluorescent filter units are installed as standard (FAM and ROX).
The application software is user-friendly and similar to TP700, TP800 and TP900.
Basic settings are easy, and application settings provide a high degree of freedom.
It is possible to set the fluorescent measurement point and to view data even with
other computers. The software uses a unique data format that prevents alteration
of the data by general-purpose software.
The application software has the Absolute Quantification method, the Relative
Quantification mode and added the Plus/Minus Assay program and the SNP
Genotyping Assay program.
The application software has the List manager of Target and Sample, making text
files for RDML(Real-time PCR Data Markup Language) and changeable graphic
colors patterns.
The application software is standard accessory and includes for the Research
(English) and for the Food Environment Inspection (Japanese).
TP980 systems include the PC and Multi plate RQ software (Code: TP840).
TP990 systems include the PC and the Filter Unit Cy5. (Code: TP703).
