The qTOWER for routine real-time diagnostics is based on a novel fiber optical system patented by Analytik Jena. Furthermore it combines the advantages of exceptionally fast rapidPCR with ramping rates up to 12 °C/sec and a considerably low sample consumption down to 5 µl per reaction.
- Quantitative real-time fluorescence detection
- Combines advantages of rapidPCR with enormous sample consumption
- Heating rates of up to 12 °C/sec and cooling rates of up to 8 °C/sec
- Low sample consumption down to 5 µl
- 9 different color modules available, including 4 FRET filters
- Open for individually adaptations or changes
- Read-out of 96 wells within 4 sec, independent of the number of dyes
- Integrated control and analysis software qPCRsoft
- Real-time PCR and analysis of 96 samples in parallel within less than 60 minutes
- Variety of methods for data analysis
- Absolute and relative quantification
- PCR efficiency and delta-delta Ct method
- Discrimination of allele conditions and determination of expression ratios
Flexible
To meet different demands of applications, the qTOWER can be equipped with up to 4 different color modules for excitation and emission. Thereby the qTOWER can be customized, as a choice of the user out of 9 different available color modules. Therefore the instrument is ideally suited for multiplex applications and covers most currently available dyestuffs.
Userfriendly software
Basis for the final analysis of the real-time PCR curves is the integrated software qPCRsoft. With this software the analytical evaluation of measured fluorescence signals referring to methods like absolute or relative quantification, delta-delta Ct, allele discrimination or PCR efficiencies takes place. This control and analysis software allows the accurate determination of concentrations or available allele conditions as well as ratios of expressions.
