August 2022—Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched the CFX Duet Real-Time PCR system to support researchers in developing singleplex and duplex quantitative PCR assays. The CFX Duet system offers the robust thermal performance and proprietary, accurate optical shuttle system of the company’s CFX Opus system. It is a two-color system that is factory calibrated for common dyes and allows the quantification of up to two targets in genotyping and multiple gene expression analyses without the need for passive reference dyes. An additional fluorescence resonance energy transfer mode supports protein melt analysis for basic protein characterization.
The system uses CFX Maestro Software for experimental setup and analysis and to deliver customized reports without exporting data to other programs.
