qPCR : Real-Time PCR Detection SystemBio-Rad Innovates for Education
What is real-time PCR?
- Gene expression analysis
- Molecular diagnostics (genetic diseases, viral or bacterial infections)
- Mutation and antibiotic resistance detection
- Protein studies (FRET and thermal analysis)
CFX Duet – A benchmark in functional genomics
Prepare your students to become true professionals
Bio-Rad real-time PCR detection systems (708290)
- Installation, setup, and commissioning
Handled by Jeulin engineers trained by Bio-Rad - 2-year warranty covering parts and labor
If a part or repair is needed, after-sales service is free during the warranty period and fast (workshop in Germany). - No maintenance or calibration required throughout the device's lifespan, thanks to the Diode/Photodiode system
- Estimated lifespan: 25 years
For one PCR run per day; LED/Photodiode technology - Compatible with all market-standard consumables, including:
Microtubes with flat caps, 96-well low-profile plates with/without skirt of optical quality.
Why choose this system?
1. No recalibration needed thanks to the Diode/Photodiode pair:
Before starting measurements, the device automatically aligns the diodes.
2. Fast detection:
With its filtered LEDs and high-sensitivity photodiodes, the CFX Duet enables precise analyses in a short time. It can scan all channels in just 12 seconds.
3. Reads all 96 wells in every run:
The system reads all 96 wells in each run—even empty wells! If a sample is misplaced on the plate, you will still get results. You can also create or modify the plate layout afterward.
4. Application flexibility:
- Multiplexing up to 2 simultaneous targets for optimized analyses.
- Ideal for advanced experiments such as FRET or thermal protein analysis—features rarely available at this price.
5. Unmatched precision and thermal uniformity:
The CFX Duet provides a thermal uniformity of ±0.3 °C, ensuring reproducible results, even for demanding applications like diagnostics or quantitative analysis.
6. Cost-effective and compact:
With optimized dimensions and a competitive price, the CFX Duet is an economical solution for laboratories needing high-performance equipment without compromising quality.
