LightCycler® 96

The LightCycler^® 96 Instrument is a real-time PCR system for rapid cycling up to 96 samples. Applications include absolute and relative quantification, melting curve analysis, and endpoint genotyping. Precise LightCycler^® 96 Instrument thermal homogeneity and cycling speed produce accurate and reproducible results in a very short time.
The LightCycler^® 96 Instrument’s optical detection system flexibly detects sequence-dependent probes, such as hydrolysis probes and sequence-independent dyes (i.e., SYBR Green I). Multiplex and multicolor capabilities permit the use of up to four different fluorescent dyes. New innovative LightCycler^® 96 Application and Instrument Software creates a simple analysis workflow with easy import and export functions, email notifications after each run, online monitoring flexibility, and server-based network interfacing.

Obtain fast, highly sensitive, and reproducible results for qualitative and quantitative detection of nucleic acids and SNP analysis with the versatile, plate-based LightCycler^® 96 System:

• Benefit from a cutting-edge, low-mass thermal block design that offers excellent well-to-well homogeneity for a broad range of temperatures, and access to gradient features. The electroforming production process allows a perfect fit of the 96-well plate (negative structure) to the block (positive structure, formed by a galvanic reaction) and avoids air cushions in between both.
• Maximize sensitivity and speed using novel optics (combining sturdy glass fibers with high-intensity broad-spectrum LEDs), and obtain simultaneous detection of all wells within milliseconds.
• Install the software on any PC for free, with no license requirements, and run the system according to your specific needs:
  • Standalone, using a flash drive to transfer data
  • Connected to a PC
  • Connected to a PC network via Ethernet
• Experience advanced software features, such as on-line real-time remote monitoring, e-mail notification, heat-maps, wizards, and many more options to operate the intuitive and easy-to-use software.
• Extract meaningful data via state-of-the-art analysis methods, then easily export results in a ready-to-publish format (RDML).
• Choose the optimal type of LightCycler^® 480 Multiwell Plate or 8-Tube strips (white, recommended) or clear to best fit your assay format, application, and workflow.
