Clontech CronoSTAR 96 Real-Time PCR System Model 640231 without PC

The Clontech CronoSTAR 96 Real-Time PCR System (model 640231) is a precise thermocycler designed for high-throughput quantitative PCR assays, essential in molecular diagnostics and biotechnology research. It supports 96 simultaneous reactions using 0.2 mL tubes or 96-well plates with a recommended reaction volume of 25 µL (up to 50 µL). Employing a Peltier element for thermal cycling, it achieves rapid temperature changes with a maximum heating rate of 5.5°C/sec and cooling rate of 4.4°C/sec, ensuring efficient amplification cycles.

Featuring four fluorescence detection channels—FAM/TB Green, VIC/HEX/TET/JOE, ROX/Texas Red, and Cy5—detected via photodiodes, this system enables multiplex assays and advanced gene expression analysis. Temperature control precision includes ±0.15°C accuracy and ≤0.8°C uniformity, critical for reproducible PCR results. The integrated 10.4-inch touch panel facilitates user-friendly operation and data management.

This real-time PCR instrument is widely used in molecular diagnostics, gene editing validation, synthetic biology, and bioprocessing workflows, making it a critical tool in biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Sold as a used unit without PC, it is offered in as-is condition, suitable for laboratories seeking a reliable PCR platform for routine and advanced qPCR applications.
