ThermaCyte™ X16 PCR System

Compact, Cost-Effective & High Performance qPCR

Real-time PCR has become the gold standard in molecular diagnostics, but high instrument costs and large benchtop space requirements often restrict smaller labs. The ThermaCyte™ X16 System addresses this gap by packing high-end thermal and optical capabilities into a highly compact, cost-effective benchtop system.

Equipped with an advanced single LED excitation source and photomultiplier tube (PMT) detector, the X16 delivers time-resolved real-time scanning across up to 4 fluorescence channels, supporting major dyes including FAM, VIC, HEX, ROX, and Cy5.

With a maximum ramping rate of 10°C/s and temperature accuracy of ±0.1°C, the ThermaCyte™ X16 ensures rapid cycling times and high reproducibility, making it ideal for clinical diagnostics, research, food safety, and environmental screening.
