Roche LightCycler 1536

The LightCycler^® 1536 Instrument is a rapid, plate-based thermal block cycler with integrated real-time, online detection capabilities. The architecture of this high-throughput platform is built upon the proven LightCycler^® 480 Instrument, with its high-performance optical unit and block cycler technologies.

• Utilize the first plate-based real-time PCR instrument that generates 1,536 data points in a single PCR run in less than 50 minutes.
• Obtain high-performance data comparable to legacy data until now only generated with 96- and 384-formats, using this low-volume 1536-well format (0.5 to 2.0 µl).
• Reduce sample input volume, and cut your cost per data point by at least 50%.
• Obtain fourfold higher throughput per plate and reduce inter-assay errors.
• Maximize PCR layout flexibility using a customizable plate-based format.
• Obtain reliable real-time PCR data with the LightCycler^® 1536 Software, streamlined for high-throughput needs.
• Take advantage of a streamlined system designed for automation and high-throughput workflows.
• Improve data robustness with a built-in error-checking system that detects pipetting errors.
