RAPID LT System

The R.A.P.I.D. LT is a real-time PCR instrument capable of analyzing samples for the presence of targeted nucleic acid sequences.

Built upon LightCycler technology, this instrument combines rapid air thermocycling and a real-time fluorimeter to reliably identify test samples in less than 25 minutes. Because of its sensitivity, accuracy and high speed, it is the ideal instrument for rapid pathogen identification and genotyping.

Because of its unique design, test samples achieve a high uniformity of temperature and ultra-rapid transitions ensuring better results and cleaner melting curves.

Features:

- Rapid air thermocycling

- 32-sample capacity

- 45 cycles in 25 minutes

- Glass capillaries

- Three-color optics-allows fluorescence monitoring over a wide range of wavelengths, providing multiplex capabilities

- Accurate and highly reproducible results

Features:

- Freeze-dried bringing all the necessary components in one tube: primers, probes, enzymes and buffers

- Test kits produced under US FDA quality assurance (cGMP) system and validated independently through AOAC

- Each test has internal chemistry controls to ensure reagent quality by incorporating an amplification control into every reaction

- AOAC approved pooling protocols offer a low cost method for improved food security

Reagents currently available:

Included with the instrument is a laptop computer pre-loaded with easy-to-use run and analysis software.
The software operates the instrument, automatically collects and analyzes data, then reports the results in an easy-to-read and printable format. An advanced version of the software is also available; which provides in-depth analysis tolls for precise PCR analysis and information-management modules.
