Cheap qPCR but doesn't last long
Environmental Biotechnology
Bought a few years ago, the device started to have more and more calibration problems and needed restarts again and again. It ended up melting the PCR plates during operation. Sent for repair a bit more than 1 year after the warranty period ended. The repair cost is around 75% of the device price. So to conclude, cheap qPCR but doesn't last long. Our local reseller also stopped selling it since our purchase.

Top of the line. Pays itself in 1 year!
Life Sciences
PCRMax have picked up the best real-time PCR instrument ever made. Very easy to use, results within 45 mins. Tiny well-to-well or instrument-to-instrument variations. Small reaction volumes.
Review Date: 30 Nov 2021 | PCRmax
It is reliable and provides good results.
Extensive analysis of bioinformatics
PCRmax are committed to delivering a market-leading range of PCR related equipment and consumables for its customers. This product offers customer-relevant features, which actually benefit the data quality and improve the user experience. The Eco 48 and developments of its technology to a larger scale (with the same market leading specs) we feel could change the entire qPCR arena in terms of sensitivity, speed and data confidence. It is user friendly, most reliable and used extensively for bioinformatics analysis.

The PCRmax Eco 48 real time PCR system is a high specification, feature rich thermal cycler that accommodates a unique 48-well polypropylene PCR plate utilising the same geometry as standard 384-well plates, but only 1/8 of the size. This enables users to dramatically reduce the qPCR reagent volumes compared to traditional 96-well instruments, whilst still producing a strong fluorescence signal. Due to this small volume the user can also use less precious template per reaction allowing for more assays to be performed. Minimizing the plate size also significantly improves thermal uniformity and as such consistency from run to run and system to system allowing users to pool individual plates together into one large experiment massively increasing the scale of the system and ease of sharing data with colleagues.
Eco 48 ready to perform four colour multiplexing, High Resolution Melt analysis and has free or licence MIQE compliant software.
Absolute Quantification of Gene Expression using SYBR Green in the Eco 48 Real-Time PCR System
This Protocol provides a step-by-step guide for quantifying the level of gene expression of a gene of interest using the absolute quantification method in the Eco 48 Real-Time PCR System.
PCRmax Eco 48: The World’s Most Uniform Block Based qPCR System and What That Means for Your Data
Temperature control is at the heart of qPCR. The unique thermal block design of the Eco 48 achieves the highest uniformity of any block based system by applying unique and proprietary technologies to solve the problem of poor thermal uniformity and by extension poor data quality. This application note demonstrates the uniformity in both Cq and melting temperature (Tm) for samples run in each of the 48 wells of the block.
Using Passive Reference Dyes for Normalization and Troubleshooting in qPCR
Three statements are often made about what the use of a passive reference achieves with respect to normalizing non-PCR related fluorescence variation: It normalizes for pipetting errors; it normalizes for well-to-well optical variations on the instrument; it normalizes for changes in concentration or volume of reaction mix during the qPCR run. This technical note discusses the accuracy of these statements and explores other benefits of using passive reference dyes in qPCR.
