Excellent equipment!
Application Area: Pathogen detection
"Equipment is very reliable, easy to use and sturdy… we have this one for more than 11 years and have few problems (related to windows because of upgrades, we started with XP now we have windows 10). Software is intuitive and easy to use, I could say is a very good equipment to work with different applications of qPCR."

User friendly interface and good longevity of hardware.
Application Area:For analysis of tissue samples in infectious disease research
"This system was very comprehensive and user friendly. I was able to achieve success in assay validity and reproducibility due to the consistency in performance. Ease in routine calibration also enabled sound quality assurance. Not only was success acheived in research but also during diagnostic analysis."

Instrument and software very ease to use and good value for money.
Application Area:Gene expression quantification, Genotyping, High Resolution Melting Curve Analysis
"Instrument and software are very easy to use. Results obtained are reproducible. Software is very simple to use and many features are present to do your own edits. You can save and transfer your results in many different formats. Screen information is clear and precise. There is no bug during the run. You can monitor the results in between the runs with easiness. The instrument is good value for money."

Good instrument, but bad service.
Application Area:Detecting expression of mRNA and miRNA in equine white blood cells
"It has been used for over 10 years. The reaction set up is pretty straight-forward. They also provide all the consumables needed. We are satisfied with its easy use and robust results. However, recently there was something wrong with it, and the signal curves changed abruptly, but not smoothly. We ordered the repair service. The engineers tried 2 times, and could not figure out the solutions. "
