Real-time PCR system with 96-sample capacity, 4-channel fluorescence, and precise thermal cycling for molecular diagnostics.
The Crontech CronoSTAR 96 Real-Time PCR System (Model 640231) is a high-performance molecular diagnostics instrument designed for quantitative PCR applications and biotechnology research including gene editing and molecular cloning workflows. This thermal cycler supports up to 96 samples simultaneously with precise temperature control enabled by Peltier element heating and cooling delivering maximum heating and cooling rates of 5.5 °C/s and 4.4 °C/s, respectively. The system achieves a temperature accuracy ≤0.2 °C, uniformity ≤0.8 °C, and precision ≤0.15 °C, essential for reliable real-time PCR assays used in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing.
Equipped with a 4-channel fluorescence detection system (FAM/TB Green, VIC/HEX/TET/JOE, ROX/Texas Red, Cy5) and a sensitive photodiode detector paired with an LED excitation light source, this instrument supports multiplex fluorescence analysis for advanced genetic and synthetic biology research. It accommodates standard 0.2 mL tubes or 96-well plates with recommended reaction volumes of 25 µL (maximum 50 µL). The integrated 10.4-inch touch panel provides a user-friendly interface for assay setup and monitoring.
The CronoSTAR 96 is widely used in biomedical engineering, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing pipelines requiring precise thermal cycling and fluorescence detection. It also supports melting curve analysis, making it suitable for detecting genotyping variations and reaction specificity. This unit is a used device sold as-is, noted for maintaining core functionalities critical in biotechnology laboratories focused on gene expression and synthetic biology research.
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.
