StepOne Real-Time PCR Systems
Description
The StepOne™ and StepOnePlus™ Systems bring advanced real-time PCR technology to a new level of accessibility—even for first-time users. Both systems measure amplification as
it occurs, cycle by cycle, allowing for precise and quantitative measurements during the exponential phase of PCR. Beginning at the homepage (Figure 1), you can navigate seamlessly
through all aspects of the real-time PCR process including sample and reaction set-up, thermal cycling, and fluorescent detection. Focused application software analyzes and interprets
experimental results. Depending on the experimental design, the system can even help you select and order real-time PCR reagents online by means of convenient links in the software
(optional). The system provides two-fold discrimination with 99.7% confidence, along with 9 logs of dynamic range. Highly sensitive, these systems detect 10 copies of RNaseP in a 30-?L
reaction. Additionally, for laboratories with the StepOne System that require greater throughput, an upgrade kit is available
