Used Real-Time PCR (qPCR) Machines

Used qPCR Machines

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) are scientific methods used to amplify sections of DNA. The process requires the extraction or purification of the material and makes it possible for small amounts to be tested. 

Explore Real-Time qPCR Machines

qPCR involves a variety of instruments, each of which can come with a hefty price tag. Getting used qPCR/Analytical PCR equipment is a great option for small-volume qPCR work. New Life Scientific offers a wide range of high-quality used qPCR systems at budget-friendly prices.

Popular qPCR Equipment

Understanding real-time PCR and its applications can be helpful when choosing the perfect equipment for your requirements. Check out these popular manufacturers and their highly recommended qPCR models:

• QIAGEN: The Rotor-Gene Q 5-Plex Real-Time qPCR Centrifugal DNA/RNA Thermal Cycler has a unique rotary format that gives it outstanding thermal and optical performance in real-time thermal cycling. It also comes with the easy-to-use Q-Rex Software suitable for various applications.
• Applied Biosystems: Their StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR System is great for first-time and experienced users. It's configurable and supports several applications, such as gene detection, protein and microRNA expression, translocation, and viral load analysis.

qPCR vs. RT-PCR: Making the Right Choice for Your Lab

qPCR refers to quantitative real-time PCR, while RT-PCR refers to reverse transcription PCR. Both are considered advanced methods of PCR. The only difference is that qPCR delivers faster and more detailed results in real time, while RT-PCR is for endpoint reactions.

Real-time results could mean faster turnaround for laboratories. This makes qPCR ideal if you're handling huge amounts of samples regularly.

Why Choose qPCR Over Traditional PCR Methods

qPCR and traditional PCR are methods that have numerous applications. They're essential in several fields of study, such as microbiology, virology and parasitology. PCR is the simpler process of the two and is typically used to determine the presence or absence of DNA.

Between traditional PCR and qPCR, qPCR is the preferred method by many because it yields real-time data. The two quantification strategies in qPCR also work in its favor. Moreover, qPCR can detect a wide range of expression in wells, making it ideal for having high throughput rates. For lab managers, this means more economical processes.
