The 960406 is the full-plate research-grade qPCR system for high-throughput molecular diagnostics, NGS quantification, and any workflow that needs 96 samples and 6-target multiplexing in a single run. High-precision temperature control with 0.1°C block resolution, gradient temperature range 30–100°C with up to 40°C difference between adjacent blocks for assay optimization, and 6 fluorescence channels with no crosstalk. Automatic sample tray motion in/out enables integration with workstations and plate handlers for unmanned overnight operation. The 10.1-inch large touchscreen handles flexible programming, and dual built-in + PC software lets you analyze qPCR data however your workflow demands.
Why 6-Channel × 96-Well qPCR Defines Modern Diagnostics
Modern molecular diagnostic panels — respiratory pathogens, sexually transmitted infections, sepsis screens, oncology biomarkers — are multiplex assays that detect multiple targets per well. A 4-channel qPCR can run a 4-plex; a 6-channel system can run a 6-plex, which means more pathogens detected per well, fewer wells per panel, more panels per run. For high-throughput diagnostic labs, that's the difference between processing 96 samples × 4 targets (384 results) and 96 samples × 6 targets (576 results in the same run).
But channel count alone doesn't matter if the channels suffer crosstalk. Cheap qPCR systems pack channels too closely, and excitation light from one channel bleeds into the detector of another — producing false-positive signals that destroy multiplex specificity. The 960406's 6 fluorescence channels are crosstalk-free, with 40°C maximum gradient between adjacent blocks (compared to typical 5–10°C) for unprecedented assay optimization range. Combined with the 0.1°C block temperature resolution and two temperature control modes (block or tube), the 960406 delivers the optical and thermal precision that high-stakes diagnostics demand.
6 Channels · No Crosstalk
6 fluorescence channels with zero crosstalk — supports 6-plex multiplex assays for maximum target density per well. 96 samples × 6 targets = 576 data points per run.
0.1°C Block Resolution
0.1°C block temperature resolution for reliable, consistent qPCR data. Gradient range 30–100°C with 40°C adjacent block difference for unmatched assay optimization range.
Auto Sample Tray
Sample tray automatically moves in/out — enables integration with automated workstations and plate handlers for unmanned overnight detection in high-throughput labs.
10.1-inch Touchscreen + Dual SW
10.1-inch large touchscreen for flexible programming. Built-in software for stand-alone + PC software for in-depth analysis. Two temperature control modes — block or tube.
