When choosing a qPCR machine, first start with the technical solution of the instrument's optical detection, because this is the core technology of the qPCR instrument, which determines the accuracy, reliability and repeatability of the experiment.

1. The faster the heating and cooling rate, the better

Whether it is an ordinary PCR machine or a fluorescent quantitative PCR machine, the heating and cooling rate determines the time required for the experiment. Therefore, the faster the better. It can quickly reach the target temperature, thereby shortening the experimental time and improving work efficiency.

2. The higher the throughput, the better

The throughput includes the number of wells and the number of channels. Commonly used ones are 8-well, 16-well, 48-well, and 96-well, and the number of channels is two-channel, four-channel, five-channel, and six-channel. The product is not just for current needs, but more for the future, so the more wells and channels, the better. For scientific research or disease diagnosis, the high-throughput fluorescence quantitative PCR machine is widely used.

3. The more software functions, the better

Excellent software not only gives the PCR system complete functions and simple operation, but also brings good customer experience and perfect experimental results. Relative quantification, absolute quantification, melting curve, genotyping (SNPs), etc. are all essential functions of qPCR software.
