The xxpress® utilises resistive heating technology and forced air cooling to deliver rapid temperature cycles. Combining this technology with a unique, ultra-low thermal mass consumable makes the xxpress the world’s fastest and most thermally uniform qPCR thermal cycler.
Speed
qPCR cycles in
Resistive heating technology
Heating and cooling up to 10°Cs-1
xxplates® have a low thermal mass, meaning they are very efficient to heat with little thermal waste
Cost Saving
Save up to
Save up to 90% of your reagent running costs.
The ideal multi-user system (walk up, run, get results, walk away)
Great Return on Investment (ROI) – more runs per day
Faster results delivery
Flexible
24 well, 54 well and 96 well plates all on the same hardware
Increased speed means qPCR is available to new applications
Thermal Accuracy
temperature reads and modifies per second
qPCR efficiency with an R2 of 0.995
Low thermal mass results in more accurate temperature control
Sample is only 10µm from heat source, twenty times closer than in conventional systems
Infrared temperature measurement reads and modifies 100 times per second
qPCR efficiency of 105% (10ng/mL to 0.001ng/mL) with an R2 of 0.995
Intuitive
Simple ‘touch screen’ programming
Icon based programming, including pre-set methods
Straightforward method planning designed by scientists
