The Good
Excellent workflow optimization, intuitive software, flexible plate formats, and powerful data analysis that can be performed remotely from the instrument.
The Bad
The maintenance costs are relatively high, even though servicing is only required approximately every three years. The system also requires proprietary plates and consumables, which limits flexibility and increases operating costs.
The Bottom Line
An outstanding qPCR platform that optimizes workflow and data analysis, with the main drawbacks being the cost of maintenance and proprietary consumables.
