High-sensitivity real-time PCR system with rapid 40-cycle runs, multiplex fluorescence detection, ideal for molecular diagnostics.
The Roche LightCycler 96 real-time PCR system (Model 5815916001) is a high-precision molecular diagnostics instrument designed for rapid and sensitive quantitative PCR applications. Its advanced Peltier-based temperature control ensures accuracy within ±0.2°C and uniformity of ±0.3°C across samples, supporting temperature ranges from 37 to 98°C and gradient functionality up to 20°C, ideal for optimizing bioprocessing assays and gene expression analysis workflows.
Featuring a broad-spectrum high-power LED excitation system with four fixed wavelength pairs (470/514 nm, 533/572 nm, 577/620 nm, 645/697 nm), this instrument supports multiplex fluorescence detection for dyes such as SYBR Green I, FAM, VIC, HEX, Texas Red, and Cy5. The 96x2 glass fiber optic detection with CCD camera enhances sensitivity and reproducibility, critical for applications in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology research.
Run times are notably rapid with 40-cycle protocols completing within 40 minutes, facilitating efficient throughput in molecular cloning, gene editing validation, and biomanufacturing quality control. The system supports flexible reaction formats including 96-well plates, 8-strip tubes, and 0.1 mL blocks, accommodating reaction volumes from 10 to 50 µL per well.
Data analysis features integrated software capable of absolute and relative quantification, melt curve (Tm) analysis, high-resolution melting (HRM), and genotyping endpoint calls. Operation is intuitive with a touchscreen interface that requires no PC, though data transfer via USB and LAN connectivity is supported. The LightCycler 96 is compatible with Windows XP through Windows 11 OS platforms.
Physically robust at approximately 27 kg and measuring 40 cm (W) x 40 cm (D) x 53 cm (H), it is suitable for benchtop installation in clinical diagnostics labs, biotechnology facilities, and research environments focusing on live-cell imaging and molecular diagnostics. This used unit is provided as-is, with original manuals included, and may exhibit performance variations compared to new condition equipment.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
