Bio-Rad CFX Opus 96

This used Bio-Rad CFX Opus 96 is a modern real-time PCR system designed to bring high-performance quantitative PCR to labs running standard 96-well workflows. It features an advanced optical system supporting multiple fluorophores simultaneously, fast ramp rates, and precise thermal uniformity across the block, all of which contribute to reliable Cq values and tight replicate agreement. The instrument is controlled through Bio-Rad CFX Maestro software, giving users an intuitive interface for assay design, data analysis, and reporting. Labs use the CFX Opus 96 for gene expression studies, pathogen detection assays, genotyping, copy number variation analysis, and other applications that benefit from multiplex fluorescence detection. Its updated optical engine and LED-based excitation system represent a meaningful step up from older CFX and iCycler generations, offering better sensitivity and a broader dynamic range while keeping run times short. The instrument's compact design and quiet operation also make it a good fit for shared core facilities and busy diagnostic labs. This pre-owned unit has been tested and is in good working order, offering a more current alternative to legacy Bio-Rad thermal cyclers at a fraction of new pricing. It suits research, academic, and clinical laboratories that want current-generation qPCR reliability without the lead time or cost of a brand-new system.
