4.2 Function
4.2.1 Fluorescence spectrometer
The detector unit for a thermal block with 96 wells is a patented 8-channel epi-fluores-
cence photometer with fiber multiplexer and a mechanical scanning device.
The detector unit for a thermal block with 384 wells is a patented 16-channel epi-fluo-
rescence photometer with fiber multiplexer and a mechanical scanning device.
The device is an open platform for real-time PCR and supports both intercalating dyes as
well as individual sensors and kits from various manufacturers. The device can be used
in various applications, such as expression analyses, genotyping and the detection of
pathogens.
