Illumina ECO EC-101-1001, Thermal Cycler

1x Illumina, ECO EC-101-1001, Thermal Cycler

The Eco Real-Time PCR system puts powerful qPCR applications within reach of individual researchers.
Large, expensive thermal cyclers that take up an entire workspace are replaced with an affordable,
compact system that fits easily on any lab bench.

Delivering unsurpassed data quality in less than 40 minutes for 40-cycle runs,
the Eco system revolutionizes qPCR accessibility for both new and experienced Real-Time PCR users.
The flexible Eco platform supports all chemistries and Real-Time PCR applications,
including absolute quantification by standard curve,
relative quantification using the ΔΔCq method
with support for multiple reference gene normalization,
allelic discrimination by end-point fluorescence,
and genotyping by High Resolution Melt (HRM) curve analysis.
Whatever your qPCR needs are, the Eco system meets them.
