Competitor Q uses a single light source to excite all samples.

Differences in light path length lead to differences in excitation, which requires normalization. Though Competitor Q has said that they do not require normalization dyes, this is not reflected in the data as the data CV values for replicates is significantly higher.

Why doesn’t the Cielo™ require ROX dye?

 The Cielo does not require ROX dye because it uses in-well detection technology. The light path for excitation and reading emission are collimated directly into the well. As such, the light path length is always the same for each well, so there is no need to normalize for varying light path length. The data from the Cielo is consistently uniform and reproducible.

*Other dyes/probes are possible depending on the system configuration.
