Based on a comprehensive improvement of Peltier-based technology incorporated in a silver block, the instrument provides extraordinary well-to-well temperature homogeneity and inter-well, inter-cycle reproducibility. The special arrangement of optical components in the LightCycler® 480 Instrument II ensures uniform collection of signals across the plate and makes analysis independent of the sample position on the plate.The LightCycler® 480 System setup enables the use of all current probe formats (e.g., SYBR Green I, ResoLight dye for high-resolution melting, hydrolysis probes, HybProbe probes, SimpleProbe probes), providing a solution for fast and precise qualitative or quantitative detection of nucleic acids, genotyping, and mutation scanning. Channels and filters can be combined in different ways to allow flexibility in mono-color as well as multiplex assays. The pre-installed LightCycler® 480 Software provides an intuitive, easy-to-navigate user interface for real-time PCR programming, data capture, and data analysis. It facilitates highly versatile and extensive data analysis to study gene expression and genetic variation. The LightCycler® 480 Software enables users to quickly customize the system to meet different application requirements, from basic manual analysis to automated evaluation of data using the software macro feature. en The LightCycler® 480 System is a high-performance, high-throughput PCR platform (96- or 384-multiwell plates) that provides various methods for gene detection, gene expression, and genetic variation analysis. The system features the LightCycler® 480 Instrument, a versatile, plate-based real-time PCR device that supports mono- or multicolor applications, as well as multiplex protocols. The benchtop instrument is easily customizable to meet changing user requirements (e.g., for multiple plate analysis), and can be integrated into everyday use as a robotically controlled, automated high-throughput solution. en The LightCycler® 480 Instrument is intended for performing rapid, accurate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in combination with real-time, online detection, enabling Absolute or Relative Quantification of a target nucleic acid, as well as post-PCR analysis of the amplified nucleic acid by Melting Curve analysis.The LightCycler® 480 Instrument is intended for life science research only and must be used exclusively by laboratory professionals trained in laboratory techniques and having studied the Instructions for Use of this instrument. The LightCycler® 480 Instrument is not for use in diagnostic procedures.
