LightCycler® 480 Instrument II
The LightCycler® 480 Instrument II is a rapid, plate-based, thermal block cycler with integrated real-time, online detection capabilities. Based on a comprehensive improvement of Peltier-based technology incorporated in a silver block, the instrument provides extraordinary well-to-well temperature homogeneity and inter-well, inter-cycle reproducibility. The special arrangement of optical components in the LightCycler® 480 Instrument II ensures uniform collection of signals across the plate and makes analysis independent of the sample position on the plate.The LightCycler® 480 System setup enables the use of all current probe formats (e.g., SYBR Green I, ResoLight dye for high-resolution melting, hydrolysis probes, HybProbe probes, SimpleProbe probes), providing a solution for fast and precise qualitative or quantitative detection of nucleic acids, genotyping, and mutation scanning. Channels and filters can be combined in different ways to allow flexibility in mono-color as well as multiplex assays. The pre-installed LightCycler® 480 Software provides an intuitive, easy-to-navigate user interface for real-time PCR programming, data capture, and data analysis. It facilitates highly versatile and extensive data analysis to study gene expression and genetic variation. The LightCycler® 480 Software enables users to quickly customize the system to meet different application requirements, from basic manual analysis to automated evaluation of data using the software macro feature.
