Modern lab workers require equipment that offers the highest efficiency and precision for sample analysis. Equipment that provides reliable results fast and are easy to handle. In this article, we will compare the technical specifications of equipment from various manufacturers, including Bio-Rad, ABI, Bori, Hongshi, Ya Rui and our star product, the Kalstein YR01869.
One of the most outstanding aspects of Kalstein YR01869 is its ability to handle 96 samples at once (Sample Throughput), just like its competitors. However, it stands out because of the number of channels available. Kalstein adds up with 6 channels, while most other manufacturers offer 5 channels. This advantage allows Kalstein users to process and analyze more fluorescence colors simultaneously, which will increase the efficiency of the analyses.
Kalstein Advantages in Dye/Probe Application
The applicable dyes or probes are vital for the identification and quantification of DNA in a sample. Kalstein’s YR01869 surpasses its competitors by supporting a wide variety of dyes, including FAM, SYBR Green I, SYTO 9, EvaGreen, LC Green, VIC, HEX, TET, JOE, ROX, TEXAS-RED, Cy5, Alexa Fluor 680 and FRET. This flexibility allows for a wide variety of analyses and adapts to the changing needs of the labs.
Every manufacturer uses a different optical system and this influences how effectively the system can detect results. Kalstein stands out for its use of a high-brightness LED light system without maintenance, an advantage over conventional alternatives that require bulb replacement. In addition, its design of superior excitation detection from the PCR tube assures accurate and reproducible results.
Ease of Use and Additional Features
In terms of ease of use, Kalstein outperforms its competitors by providing a 10.4-inch color touchscreen interface, allowing total computer independence. Plus, it has a function to continue the experiment after a power cut and gradient capacity, features that are lacking in several of its competitors.
Usage functionalities are intrinsically related to the technical characteristics and manufacturer of the equipment, we at Kalstein, have a varied YR series, that meets your expectations, get to know them at https://kalstein.net/en/product/thermal-cyclers-yr01869/
Temperature Control System and Range
The temperature control system is a crucial element of any thermocycler. Here, Kalstein again surpasses, employing a heating and cooling system by semiconductor chip, presenting a temperature control range from 0.0℃-100℃, being surpassed only by the Bori LineGene 9600 model which reaches 105℃.
As a manufacturer, Kalstein offers an indisputable advantage in terms of performance, accuracy, and ease of use. Moreover, we offer the best value for your money, making the purchase and sale of our products an attractive option for labs of any size. We invite you to learn more about our equipment and experience the Kalstein difference.
