Product description

Real-time PCR system with solid-state optics, fast thermal cycling, thermal gradient, and low-volume assays.

The Bio-Rad CFX96 Real-Time PCR Detection System, introduced in 2008, is a powerful and precise instrument designed for real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications. This system combines advanced optical technology with precise thermal control to deliver sensitive and reliable detection for both singleplex and multiplex assays.

Key features include:

  • Long-lasting solid-state components: Utilises LEDs and photodiodes for consistent and dependable results.
  • Quick installation: Factory-calibrated optics enable system setup in seconds.
  • Fast thermal cycling: Achieves results in under 30 minutes, enhancing laboratory efficiency.
  • Thermal gradient feature: Optimises reactions within a single experiment by testing multiple temperatures simultaneously.
  • Minimal sample and reagent usage: Delivers reliable outcomes with low reaction volumes, conserving valuable resources.
  • Flexible data acquisition modes: Offers various modes, including a single-channel fast scan option for SYBR Green assays.
  • User-friendly software: The CFX Manager™ software supports intuitive experiment setup and data analysis, accommodating both novice and experienced users.

The CFX96 system is widely employed in molecular biology, genetic research, and clinical diagnostics for applications such as absolute quantification, genetic variation analysis, and gene expression studies. It is commonly utilised in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical environments. Since its release, the CFX96 has remained a relevant and reliable tool in the field of real-time PCR, with subsequent models like the CFX96 Touch™ introduced in 2011, featuring enhanced usability through large, colour touch screens.

Why Questpair exists

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.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
