Fast 16-6

Fast 16-6

Overview

Fast-16-6 is a compact, portable real-time qPCR instrument that runs 1–16 samples per batch in standard 200 µL tubes. It uses a multi-channel fluorescence optical system for true multiplex assays (up to 6 targets) and supports HRM (high-resolution melt) analysis. Designed for benchtops with limited space and near-point-of-use testing, it offers walk-away operation, integrated software (no PC required), and fast thermal performance for short time-to-result across POCT, food safety, environmental, agriculture, and research applications.
