CFX96 Touch™ Real-Time PCR Detection System with Starter Package by Bio-Rad

"Easy to use, friendly software, versatile platform"

"CFX96 is very easy to use, user interface is very intuitive and simple, results are acquired and can be analyzed in the same software. It is modular so this is plus. During work is quiet, and looks nice. Personally, I think this is one of best qPCR systems on market. Only one drawback is price, but I think best things are not cheap."

"Easy to use and high sensitivity to detect gene expression compared to other models. The CFX96 is a powerful, precise, and flexible real-time PCR detection system. Six-channel (five colors and one FRET channel) real-time PCR instrument combines advanced optical technology with precise temperature control to deliver sensitive, reliable detection for singlexplex or multiplex reactions. powerful yet easy-to-use software"

"Reliable consistent results - works well. The software is good could be a little more intuitiv - hopefully we will see an improved new edition out soon"

"The CFX96 software is easy to understand and use. Many programs can be installed and quickly selected when setting the machine up for a PCR run. Data analysis is great as you can customize only the information that is pertinent to your use. The unit can also be configured to operate with several other machines or as a standalone unit offering users a wide variety of applications and uses. The LCD touch screen interface is also a nice feature when programming the machine. The company also provides onsite repair and troubleshooting to minimize downtown. "

"This machine is definitely useful for all the filed include clinic. I would like to give 5 stars for this machine, not a service. If this machine has a problem (a simple power problem), it costs a lot (include labor fee) and it takes very long time to take care of this. Most institutions have an engineering department. It should be okay to order the part (simple part), then we can process to fix by our own. "

"This is a special qPCR because it can make temperature down to 4 Celsius degrees, and most of real-time PCR instrument cannot do this."

"This system is super easy to use. Great product for our lab. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in a real-time system. We have used it for about 18 months and have no issues with the instrument."

"It is very effective and able make high quality results. It is so easy to use and powerful. I would like to recommend other people to use this machine without any hinders. In addition it is can be easily managed and programmed. Also it is not very expensive. From point of my view its activity is more than its prizes. "

"This is a very user-friendly versatile qPCR system. I am familiar with various qPCR systems and I am extremely satisfied with this instrument. The software, setup, troubleshooting are easy. Bio-Rad service and technical assistance is also superb. I recommend it."

"It is good and easy to use even for me as a clinician."

"Easy to use reliable data is very reproducible and the software is easy to use and well developed. As a tool for DNA amplification we have had great success with it."

"This is a very simple instrument, which works well in all applications using real-time PCR. It is very useful when you want setting the multiplex real-time PCR assay."

"It’s an easy to use instrument for molecular diagnosis. I recommended it for clinical diagnostic assays."

"Great product. Service upon receiving the product was spectacular. Great demo and walkthrough with the machine. Technical support has been outstanding. Easy to use and straight forward."

"High throughput, fast response time, easy user interface. Data analysis software needs improvement.   High reagent costs."

"Bio-Rad have great representatives who are attentive to detail and good demonstrators. They provided our lab with a good deal including an extra thermal cycler."

"The machine is very easy to use and I have never had any problems with this it."

"The CFX thermal cycler provides fast and reliable results that remove the need for including ROX dye calibrators needed in ABI products of a similar nature. The software is easy to use and frequent product updates constantly add features and levels of analysis ensuring cutting edge results. Follow-up communications and prompt customer service from local Bio-Rad reps ensure the machine is up-to-date and problems are quickly resolved."

"Accurate values in all the wells, even the extreme corners. Can easily draw your graph on the system itself- no need for excel. Less volume used and it is quick (takes only one hour including dissociation curve)."

"Easy to use and versatile- various applications in one instrument."

"A good system. It's easy to handle and user friendly."

"Great performer. It runs fast chemistry from multiple suppliers with equal efficiency. Software is easy to navigate and intuitive. It is a workhorse- it's run day and night with no problems (no overheating etc). Not particularly easy to adjust baseline value- can cause anomalies in efficiency values."

"Easy to use, instruction is well written. Good demo- offers a good training section. Good service."

"An excellent product that is easy to use."

"Excellent cost effective machine."

"An easy to use Real Time PCR Machine. Very flexible with an open chemistry. Very fast and reproducible results."

"Great machine, easy to use and excellent customer support."
