Bio-Rad Chromo4

This used Bio-Rad Chromo4 is a four-color real-time PCR detection system built around a reliable Peltier-based thermal cycler platform. It combines fluorescence detection optics with a compact footprint, making it a practical choice for labs that need dependable quantitative PCR without the overhead of a full-scale genomics workstation. The unit has been tested and functions as expected, showing normal wear consistent with lab service. The Chromo4 integrates with Bio-Rad's software to deliver real-time amplification curves, melt curve analysis, and multiplexing across four fluorescent channels, which supports gene expression studies, pathogen detection, SNP genotyping, and other quantitative molecular biology workflows. Its thermal block accommodates standard 96-well plates, giving researchers flexibility across sample throughput needs while maintaining accurate temperature uniformity cycle after cycle. Labs running routine qPCR assays, teaching institutions, and smaller research groups looking for an affordable, proven real-time PCR solution will find this Chromo4 a solid working instrument. It ships from a working laboratory environment and represents good value for anyone needing dependable four-color detection without paying for the newest generation of instruments.
