Bio-Rad iQ-Check Prep System 359-4911 PCR Automation with CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR
Product Description
The Bio-Rad iQ-Check Prep System 359-4911 is an automated robotic platform designed to streamline DNA extraction and PCR plate preparation, optimized for food pathogen detection workflows. Integrated with the CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR Detection System, this solution offers precise thermal cycling, multiplex fluorescence detection, and advanced liquid handling automation essential in molecular diagnostics and biotechnology research.
Key features include:
- Automated liquid handling: High-precision pipetting with a SPAN-4 1–1000 µL pipetting head and positional accuracy of 0.1 mm for reproducible PCR sample prep.
- Liquid level detection: Capacitive (cLLD) and pressure liquid level detection for accurate aspiration and dispensing operations.
- Labware compatibility: Supports Bio-Rad recommended labware, utilizing CO-RE gripper technology for reliable labware manipulation.
- Integrated heater shaker: Hamilton heater shaker enables controlled temperature incubation and agitation, critical for enzymatic reactions and sample homogenization.
- Magnetic stirring: Included 2mag MIXControl MS4 with four magnetic stirrer pads enhances reagent mixing, improving assay consistency.
- Barcode scanner: Honeywell MS7120 supports sample traceability and LIMS integration, ensuring quality control compliance.
- Thermal cycler specifications:
- Maximum ramp rate: 5 °C/sec; average 3.3 °C/sec
- Temperature range: 0–100 °C with ±0.2 °C accuracy at 90 °C
- Gradient capability spanning 30–100 °C for assay flexibility
- Optical detection module: Six-channel fluorescence detection with filtered LEDs and photodiodes allows multiplex real-time PCR detection across 450–730 nm wavelengths, detecting as low as a single DNA copy with a dynamic range of 10 orders of magnitude.
- Sample throughput: Supports standard 96-well PCR plates with sample volumes from 1 to 50 µL (10–25 µL recommended), suitable for medium to high-throughput applications.
- System dimensions and weight: 1,124 x 795 x 903 mm, weighing 120 kg, allowing efficient use of benchtop space in diagnostic or research laboratories.
This system is widely adopted in the biotechnology and food safety sectors, essential for molecular diagnostics workflows including pathogen detection, high-throughput PCR sample processing, and bioprocess quality control. The integration of automated liquid handling with advanced real-time PCR and temperature control enhances reproducibility and throughput in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing applications.
The Bio-Rad iQ-Check Prep System integrates with CFX Manager IDE software and laboratory information management systems (LIMS) to enable seamless data management and traceability. Its robust functionality and compact design make it suitable for routine testing laboratories focused on food safety, clinical diagnostics, and biotechnology research requiring efficient molecular biology workflows.
Included accessories:
- 24-position tube racks (SMP_CAR_24_A00), multiple 5-position carriers
- CO-RE gripper attachments
- Bio-Rad tube adapters for reagent compatibility
- Integrated barcode scanner for sample identification
- PC preloaded with iQ-Check Prep software v4.1.9
- All necessary communication and power cables
This pre-owned system is fully tested, serviced, and warranted for 120 days (continental US) with optional extended warranty. It supports essential molecular cloning and PCR automation applications, making it critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines, gene editing workflows, and live-cell pathogen detection assays.
