More details about this Instrument

The CFX96 Touch System is a high precision, flexible Real-Time quantitative PCR system. The CFX96 Touch combines advanced optical technology with precise temperature control, for a fast and sensitive detection system for singleplex and multiplex reactions.

Equipment Features:
  • Six independently controlled thermal electric units providing even, precisely controlled temperatures. 
  • Optical system with six filtered LEDs and photodiodes collects data from each well individually, detecting up to five targets per well. 
  • For single-color FAM and SYBR Green assays, the fast scan option reads all 96 wells in just 3 seconds. 
  • Channel with an LED filter–photodiode combination is dedicated to FRET experiments. 
  • Large touch-screen interface makes run set up simple, and displays run progress in real time. 
  • Thermal gradient feature can test eight temperatures at once to quickly determine the optimal annealing temperature for your assay. 
  • User-friendly CFX Maestro data analysis software is available at no additional charge.

Access Procedure: 

Trained users will have keycard access to the lab and will be able to book and use the analytical instruments. For ease of management, molecular biology instruments located in the BNL are also part of the Analytical core. Researchers can also engage BNL staff to perform basic molecular biological experiments such as recombinant protein expression. Cost will be on a project-by-project basis and will include staff man-hours, materials used and instrument recharges.

Steps to Use Equipment
  1. Contact BNL staff to get trained on the instrument.
  2. Apply to CNSI for electronic door access to the facility.
  3. BNL Staff will add you to the FBS reservation system.
