Real-time PCR system with 4-channel fluorescence detection and Peltier heating for molecular diagnostics.
The Takara Bio CronoSTAR 96 Real-Time PCR System (Model 640231) is a benchtop molecular diagnostics instrument designed for quantitative PCR and gene amplification applications. It features a Peltier-based heating and cooling system with rapid temperature cycling—maximum heating speed of 5.5 °C/s and cooling speed of 4.4 °C/s—ensuring efficient thermal control critical in bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows. The instrument supports 96 samples simultaneously, accommodating standard 0.2 mL PCR tubes and 96-well plates with a reaction volume recommendation of 25 μL (up to 50 μL).
The system is equipped with a 4-channel LED excitation fluorescence detection system allowing simultaneous multiplex detection across common dyes including FAM / TB Green, VIC / HEX / TET / JOE, ROX / Texas Red, and Cy5, leveraging a photodiode sensor for sensitive detection. This capability is vital for applications in synthetic biology research, molecular diagnostics, and biotechnology fields requiring precise fluorescence analysis. Melt curve analysis functionality is integrated to support advanced genotyping and mutation detection protocols.
User operation is streamlined via a built-in 10.4-inch touchscreen, providing intuitive interface control for complex thermal cycling and fluorescence measurement protocols. The compact instrument dimensions (355 × 475 × 484 mm) and 30 kg weight make it suitable for laboratory benchtops focusing on biomanufacturing and clinical diagnostic research.
*Please note this unit is sold used and as-is; functional performance may vary from original factory specifications.* This system is widely adopted in biomedical engineering, clinical diagnostics, and neuroscience research, where reliable real-time PCR and high-throughput gene expression analysis are essential.
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.
