DNA Engine Opticon 2雙通道實時定量PCR儀
產品介紹：
DNA Engine Option 2 是一款雙波長實時PCR 儀。96 個藍－綠 LED 順序激發樣品，通過二個光電二極管來檢測。兩個激發波長范圍：一為523–543nm（適用于FAM、SYBR Green I 等），
還有一個是 540–700nm（適用于普遍使用的HEX、TEMRA、TET、VIC 等熒光素）。
DNA Engine Option 2 既可以支持普通的單重PCR，也可以支持多重 PCR。多重 PCR 除了可以節省試劑和時間外，還可以使內對照的使用成為可能，從而對樣品PCR 效率有更進一步的掌控。
此外，多重PCR 也 使基因表達分析更為簡便。其具體性能如下：
一次96 孔熒光檢測時間在3 秒之內，減少了熒光交叉
的溫度控制性能和梯度PCR 功能
Opticon Monitor 分析軟件可以非常簡單地設置RT–PCR、多重PCR 等反應，以及DNA 定量、基因表達、等位基因等功能分析
LED 陣列與反應板一一對應，保證激發光準確進入目標管。發射光通過光電倍增管（PMTs）系統進行信號放大。
