The Azure Cielo™ Real-Time PCR system provide accuracy and sensitivity needed for research, with intuitive touch screen software.

• Flexibility:  Engineered for a wide variety of qPCR applications, with high sensitivity and wide dynamic range.
• Intelligent workflow: The user interface is a simple touch screen assay setup.  Protocols can be saved to make assay set up easy and reproducible.
• Reliability: Cielo's optics and thermal block are designed to deliver the same uniformity and reproducibility over at least 1,000 qPCR experiments, giving you confidence in the reliability of the instrument.
• Connectivity: An external PC is not required to run the instrument.
• Data Transfer: This can be performed via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or USB.

Operation - A standalone qPCR system with 10.3” touchscreen interface
Optics - 3 or 6 dye channel filters with LED based excitation for multiplexing
Speed - Fiber optic detection system scans 16 wells simultaneously
Durability - Tested reliability for over 1000 continuous runs
Connectivity - Easily export data via Wi-Fi, ethernet, USB or LAN
Capacity - 96-well format for semi-skirted or un-skirted plates and tubes
Thermal Performance - Marlow Peltier based block with 12 temperature gradient zones, ramp rates up to 6.0°C/sec
Chemistry - Supports reaction volumes between 10 µl–150 µl, open source chemistry, including FAST ~20 minute run-times
Sensitivity - Detect 2-fold differences in target quantities in singleplex reactions and up to 1 copy of amplified DNA, 10 logs of dynamic range

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.

Benchmark™ Roto-Therm™ Incubated Rotators

• Rotated mixing with temperature control
• Includes tube holders for common tube sizes
• Available with variable speed control and advanced shaking / mixing modes: Mix (Oscillating), Pause, Rock (Plus Model)

The Roto-Therm™ series of incubated rotating mixers provide a wide range of mixing capabilities. Suitable for an array of laboratory applications including resuspension, protein binding, nucleic acid purification, histochemistry, hybridization, etc. The mixers include interchangeable tube holders for accommodating all common tube sizes from 0.5 mL to 50 mL. The motion can be adjusted from vertical (end over end) mixing, to horizontal (rolling or hybridization style) mixing.  

For applications requiring temperature control, the Roto-Therm™ series can be digitally programmed to maintain chamber temperatures of ambient 5°C to 60°C and include an “in-lab” calibration function for ensuring accurate temperature control.

The Roto-Therm™ is also available in a “Plus” configuration, providing the following additional features:

• Variable speed: 5 to 70 rpm
• “Mix” function: Rotating in combination w/ oscillations (increased mixing)
• “Pause” function: Rotating with intermittent “stops” during rotation
• “Rock” function: Back and forth, gentle rocking motion (see-saw)

The Plus model also offers an additional rocking platform (4.5 x 3 in.), as well as a 96 x 0.2 mL tube/strip/plate holder for mixing PCR vessels in the “Mix” (oscillating) mode.
