Heating & cooling unit
Applying the advantages of thermoelectric (TE, Peltier Effect) module makes temperature change rapidly and uniform. Hot-lid design permits oil-free operation.
Optical unit
1. An array of LED collimates to corresponding wells.High-light and long-lived LED excitation light source does not need maintenance or preheating.
2. PMT fluorescence detection offers high sensitivity, broad dynamic range and low crosstalk.
3. An array of detecting coaxial optical fibers focus on each well’s bottom ensure minimal light loss.
Operation system and Application software
1. Application software interface is friendly windows style, Monitoring real-time amplification plots and data analysis during a PCR run.
2. Supply software package of medical case and database management and plot display.
Quantification
After quantitative analysis for the standard sample, the instrument will get a standard curve of Ct value related to copy number.
Comparing the Ct value of unknown sample with standard curve, the instrument can calculate the original copy number of unknown sample by quantitative analysis. TL988 has a wide linear detecting range, which can detect 101-1010 DNA copies/ml.
