Application

GDS 72 well Rotor is used with Assurance^® GDS Rotor-Gene^® Q thermocycler for the detection of pathogenic organisms in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples without the need for optimization of reaction and cycling conditions.

Features and Benefits

The rotor design delivers: Tube-to-tube variation of ±0.02°C for uniform detection Pre-loaded firmware specific to Assurance^® GDS assays Negligible equilibration times for fast run-cycling Complete confidence in your results

General description

GDS 72 Well Rotor is an accessory to hold the amplification tubes (0.1 mL) containing samples in the GDS Rotor-Gene^® Q thermocycler during amplification. GDS is an automated nucleic acid amplification system for the detection of pathogenic organisms in foods, ingredients, and environmental samples. The unique centrifugal rotary design of the Rotor-Gene^® Q makes it the most precise and versatile thermocycler. Amplification tubes spin in a chamber of moving air, keeping all samples at precisely the same temperature during rapid thermal cycling thereby enabling uniform detection. When each tube aligns with the detection optics, the sample is illuminated, and the fluorescent signal is rapidly collected from a single, short optical pathway. This thermal and optical uniformity results in sensitive, precise, and fast PCR analysis.
