Cole Parmer PCRmax Eco 48 Real-Time qPCR System

The PCRmax® Eco48 real time PCR system is a high specification, economically priced real time thermal cycler that accommodates a unique 48-well polypropylene PCR plate utilizing the same geometry as standard 384-well plates, but only 1/8 of the size. This enables users to dramatically reduce the qPCR reagent volumes compared to traditional 96-well instruments, whilst still producing a strong fluorescence signal. Minimizing the plate size also significantly improves thermal uniformity. A minimum volume of 5 μl is validated, cutting reagent costs in half and making more efficient use of expensive and hard to acquire template DNA samples. MIQE compliant open license software gives confidence when it comes to publishing your data. Eco48 allows for simple multiplex analysis with up to four dyes at once. Fast cycling enables several experiments per day, all at an economical price. Eco48 is an open platform that can utilize any chemistry, dye or PCR reagent. The easy to use software, makes analysis simple and fast.

The Eco48 system comes with two distinct softwares, the first, Eco Control, drives the unit's set up and experimental runs while Eco Study is the analysis package. The Eco48 software is open license, you can install them on as many PCs as you like, and MIQE compliant. With the Eco 48 system and software, data collection is monitored in real time, allowing researchers to access run viability immediately. The user-friendly data analysis interface also allows researchers to easily view the amplification plot, melt curve analysis, and the analyzed results, including Cq values, PCR efficiency, R2 and Y-intercept.
