Bio-Rad Laboratories has announced the availability of the CFX automation system for walk-away, high-throughput qPCR on its CFX96 and CFX384 real-time PCR detection systems.
The addition of the CFX automation system to the CFX96 and CFX384 real-time PCR systems offers a high quality, high-throughput, automated PCR solution for researchers.
The CFX automation system is equipped with a benchtop plate handler with the capacity to load up to 20 384-well plates or 7,680 samples at a time on the CFX384 system, facilitating workflow automation, generation of large volumes of data and rapid analysis of that data.
CFX automation-control software manages the configuration and operation of the CFX automation system with one CFX96 or CFX384 real-time PCR detection system, ensuring maximum productivity.
Researchers can use the CFX automation-control software to define PCR protocols for multiple experiments at once, enabling either the same protocol to be applied across each plate or different protocols for each plate.
Upon run completion, users can analyse data when and where they want by choosing to be sent an email notification with an attached data file.
They can also request an automatically generated PDF report in addition to the data file.
