Rotor-Gene Q 6Plex is a high-tech real-time PCR analyzer from QIAGEN. Thanks to its unique rotary design, the instrument provides unsurpassed thermal and optical uniformity, making it one of the most precise tools for molecular diagnostics and scientific research.
Key Features and Capabilities:
- Rotary Technology: the centrifugal principle eliminates temperature gradients between samples, ensuring temperature stability of ±0.02°C.
- Optical System: 6 channels (from blue to infrared) allow for multiplex analysis of up to 6 targets in a single tube.
- Speed: rapid thermal cycling and instantaneous data acquisition reduce total assay time.
- Reliability: the absence of moving optical heads and a fixed light path minimize the need for calibration and frequent maintenance.
- Versatility: supports various reaction tube formats (0.1 ml, 0.2 ml, 4-strip tubes).
Applications (Tasks Performed):
- Quantitative nucleic acid analysis (qPCR).
- Gene expression analysis.
- Genotyping (SNP).
- Melting curve analysis (including HRM — High Resolution Melting).
- Detection of infectious pathogens and GMOs.
