ESTREAM®
Automated PCR setup
ESTREAM® offers high-precision automated PCR setup for improved standardization and laboratory workflow.
- Versatile, compact benchtop instrument
- Easy to set up deck for multiple assays
- Compatible with most PCR formats
- Part of a complete automated solution for molecular workflow
Improve your workflow
PCR setup is a critical task in a laboratory, yet it can be repetitive and a drain on technician time. With the pressures for rapid, quality results that labs face today, continually improving workflow is primordial. The ESTREAM® automated PCR setup is a simple, straightforward solution. The air-based pipetting system enables you to set up multiple quantitative and qualitative assays, and offers a throughput of about 35 minutes for a 96-well Q-PCR plate setup.
- Reduce hands-on time
- High-performance, standardized results
- Set up multiple PCR assays:
- Fully automates proven quantitative and qualitative ARGENE® Real-Time PCR kits
- Open to laboratory developed tests
- Well-designed deck setup
- Rapid, high-precision pipetting:
- 200µL single pipetting head
- Air-based pipetting (no fluidic)
- Liquid Level Sensing (pressure-based)
- Multi-dispensing
- Reliable pipetting performance
- Improved safety:
- UV sterilization
- HEPA-filter
- Lower risk of repetitive strain for technicians
