Rotor-Gene Q is a thermal cycling system for real-time high-precision polymerase chain reaction (PCR), endpoint PCR, and high-resolution melt analysis (HRM). It is ideal for research in gene expression analysis, genotyping, an indication of infectious agents, and many other research areas.
The Rotor-Gene Q real-time PCR instrument combines many optimized design features to deliver outstanding performance and reliable results your research demands. The rotor system of the reaction unit allows maintaining the specified temperature and optimal reaction conditions for effective amplification and detection. It also makes it possible to simultaneously study up to 100 objects and significantly reduce the analysis time. This system allows you to easily configure, optimize and create a protocol for the required type of Analysis.
Rotor-Gene Q is a high sensitivity and precision thermal cycler for real-time PCR. Thanks to its HRM (High-Resolution Melting) channel, it allows the detection of SNP class 4. Rotor-Gene Q is the only one that has a rotary system architecture, regulating the temperature through airflow, which makes it more precise and uniform in control.
