GSD Real-Time PCR Thermal Cycler

The GSD real-time PCR thermal cycler offers high precision, rapid cycle times, and the capability to analyze numerous samples at once.

With qPCR, the DNA amplification process can be measured in real time, enabling precise calculation of the starting concentration of a sample. This advantage makes qPCR a perfect fit for applications such as detecting pathogens in the food industry.

The GSD cycler is validated to use with our BACGene GO real-time qPCR assays, for pathogen detection in a broad range of food samples:

BACGene GO Salmonella

The GSD real-time PCR thermal cycler offers high precision, rapid cycle times, and the capability to analyze numerous samples at once.


Precision

  • The target temperature is reached precisely and quickly (high ramping rate)
  • Temperature accuracy: ± 0.15 degrees Celsius (market standard: up to ± 0.4 degrees Celsius)
  • Gold-coated silver sample block providing top conductivity
  • Homogeneous temperature distribution across the entire block
  • Prevents false amplification

Multiplexing

  • Multiplexing with the qTOWERiris allows for six targets in one go
  • Complete spectrum: clear signals from UV-A to Near Infrared (NIR)
  • Compatibility with current and future dyes on the market
