Product description

High-performance real-time PCR system with 96/384-well blocks, multiplex fluorescence, and HRM analysis.

The Roche LightCycler® 480 is a high-performance, real-time PCR system designed for medium- to high-throughput applications in genomics research. Since its debut in 2005, this instrument has been instrumental in advancing molecular biology studies by providing rapid, accurate, and reproducible results.

Key features include:

  • Versatile Plate Formats: Easily interchangeable 96- and 384-well thermal block cyclers accommodate varying throughput needs without recalibration.
  • Advanced Optical System: Equipped with five excitation and six emission filters, the system supports a wide range of fluorescent dyes and probe formats, enhancing multiplexing capabilities.
  • High Resolution Melting (HRM) Analysis: Facilitates detailed gene scanning, mutation discovery, and methylation analysis, providing a comprehensive solution for genetic variation studies.
  • Rapid Cycling Times: Completes 40-cycle PCR runs in less than 40 minutes, significantly improving laboratory efficiency.
  • User-Friendly Software: Offers intuitive data analysis tools aligned with MIQE guidelines, ensuring accurate interpretation of results.

The LightCycler® 480 is widely applied in various scientific domains, including molecular biology, genomics, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics. Its applications encompass gene expression analysis, SNP genotyping, mutation scanning, and array data validation.

Commonly utilized in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical environments, this system continues to be a cornerstone in molecular research and diagnostics. Its enduring relevance underscores Roche's commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of real-time PCR technology.

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.
