Teach real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) in your classroom laboratory with the compact, cost-effective CFX Duet Real-Time PCR System.
The CFX Duet System brings Bio-Rad qPCR technology to the hands of your students by offering the same performance characteristics as the CFX Opus platform but at a lower price point. Designed for 2-channel multiplex capability and without stand-alone operation, Wi-Fi connectivity, or BR.io compatibility, the CFX Duet System is the perfect choice for many teaching laboratories.
- Quick system set up — easy installation and factory-calibrated optics
- Our best thermal uniformity and accuracy to date
- Uniform optical system free of regular calibration requirements
- No need for a reference/normalizing dye
- Can perform duplex assays, including genotyping
- Connects to a PC running CFX Maestro Software (version 2.3 or higher, sold separately)
CFX Maestro Software — Real-Time PCR Data Collection, Analysis, and Statistics
Operation of the CFX Duet System requires connection to a PC running CFX Maestro Software (sold separately). This software tool helps you set up your qPCR experiments, select reference genes, perform statistical analyses, and graph your results.
Teach Real-Time PCR (qPCR) Using Bio-Rad Explorer Classroom Kits
Bio-Rad offers educational kits that help you teach the principles and techniques of qPCR and how it compares with traditional PCR:
- Crime Scene Investigator PCR Basics Real-Time PCR Starter Kit — teach the basics of real-time PCR using standard DNA samples, eliminating the need for DNA extraction and sample preparation
- GMO Investigator Real-Time PCR Starter Kit — teach the entire real-time PCR workflow, from DNA extraction from food items to data analysis as you quantify the amount of genetically modified ingredients
