Bio-Rad iCycler Thermal Cycler with IQ5 Multicolor Real-Time PCR Detection System

The iQ5 real-time PCR detection system offers a fresh design for Bio-Rad’s new generation of real-time PCR instrumentation. Like its predecessors, the iCycler iQ and MyiQ systems, the iQ5 optical system is a modular upgrade to the iCycler thermal cycler with 96-well reaction block. This powerful new system offers five-target analysis capabilities for multiplex PCR, coupled with a completely redesigned software package. The iQ5 optical system software offers a full suite of enhanced data collection and data analysis options, including tools for gene expression analysis that measure relative quantities without a standard curve. Regardless of your PCR application, you will find that the iQ5 real-time PCR detection system is the ultimate system for value and flexibility.

System includes PC and necessary cables.
