Product Name:

CFX Connect Real-Time PCR

Catalog Number:

185-5200

We use real-time PCR for gene expression studies. I selected the CFX Connect based on positive experiences with a similar touchscreen system (CFX Touch) in another laboratory. The CFX has worked well for our straightforward singleplex experiments. Bio-Rad provides excellent customer service and technical support.

The Bottom Line

This is a user-friendly instrument. My undergraduate student researchers have had no trouble operating it with minimal training. Together with Bio-Rad's excellent support and frequent promotions, I would recommend it for singleplex/duplex PCR.
