CronoTech CronoSTAR 96 Real-Time PCR System with PC and 4-Channel Fluorescence Detection

The CronoTech CronoSTAR 96 Real-Time PCR System is a robust molecular diagnostics instrument designed for high-throughput quantitative PCR applications, ideal for biotechnology and molecular biology research. Equipped with a 4-channel fluorescence detection system (FAM/TB Green, VIC/HEX/TET/JOE, ROX/Texas Red, Cy5), it enables multiplexed gene expression analysis and molecular diagnostics with high sensitivity.

This system features a Peltier element-based rapid heating and cooling mechanism, achieving rates up to 5.5 °C/s heating and 4.4 °C/s cooling, ensuring rapid thermal cycling essential for efficient bioprocessing and gene editing workflows. The temperature accuracy (≤0.2 °C), precision (≤0.15 °C), and uniformity (≤0.8 °C) support consistent and reliable amplification results critical in synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics.

The instrument accommodates 96 samples simultaneously using standard 0.2 mL tubes or 96-well plates with a recommended reaction volume of 25 µL, suitable for applications in biomanufacturing and large-scale gene expression studies. Integrated melting curve analysis allows verification of PCR specificity, important in molecular cloning workflows.

A built-in 10.4-inch touch panel facilitates user-friendly operation and data management. Fluorescence excitation relies on a stable LED light source combined with photodiode detection, ensuring enhanced signal stability for fluorescence-based quantitative PCR experiments.

As a used unit sold as-is, performance may vary from new specifications. The CronoSTAR 96 system is widely used in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology research, and cellular imaging workflows requiring reliable real-time quantitative PCR analysis.
