The ABI QuantStudio5 qPCR thermal cycler would be the best addition to the schools bank of equipment; I have looked at the other manufacturer's instruments and have based my selection on the following, unique and beneficial features of this instrument:
⢠The instrument does 6plex, whereas the others are 5plex, this capability will also cover every probe that users may want to use (FAMâ¢/SYBR⢠Green, VICâ¢/JOEâ¢/HEXâ¢/TETâ¢, ABYâ¢/NEDâ¢/TAMRAâ¢/Cy®3, JUNâ¢, ROXâ¢/Texas Redâ¢, Mustang Purpleâ¢, Cy®5/LIZâ¢, Cy®5.5).
⢠Has 6 independent temperature zones in the block which allows for faster and cheaper optimisation of new targets.
⢠It's supplied with a laptop, which means users can download data while the instrument is running without risk of affecting other people's data, other instruments have in built systems.
⢠The software is available without licence which means all users can download the software to their own computer to analyse their data on or off campus.
⢠Software is compatible with PC and MAC.
⢠The instrument is able to be calibrated by the user rather than having to be done by the manufacturer, this will reduce future service contract costs.
