The Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System stands at the forefront of PCR technology, offering unparalleled speed and precision for the detection and quantification of nucleic acids. This system, built on over ten years of real-time PCR innovation, is tailored for high-throughput environments requiring both speed and accuracy. It features a unique 96-well Fast block that accommodates reaction volumes from 5 to 30 uL, but is optimized for 10 uL, ensuring consistent thermal uniformity across all samples.
The system's rapid ramp rates accelerate the processing times to deliver results in less than 30 minutes without compromising the extension times or the quality of the assay. This efficiency is matched by the system’s robust temperature controls, maintaining a uniformity of ± 0.5°C and an accuracy of ± 0.25°C, which are crucial for precise thermal cycling. Additionally, the optical system uses a CCD camera coupled with a halogen lamp for excitation, along with five excitation and emission filters, enabling sensitive multiplex detection of up to five targets per well.
With a dynamic range extending over nine logs, the 7500 Fast can detect as little as one copy of a template in a 20 uL reaction with 99.7% confidence. This system is not only a testament to Applied Biosystems' legacy of quality and innovation but also an essential tool for modern laboratories focused on genetic analysis and molecular diagnostics. Please Note: We recommend performing a Dye Calibration for the Dye you plan on using for your application(s). Please refer to the Operator's Manual for instructions.
