The LightCycler?® 1536 Instrument is based on the well-established LightCycler?® 480 Platform architecture. It supports the combination of two excitation filters with two detection filters, which are optimized for detecting green intercalating dyes as well as monocolor and dual-color hydrolysis probes. This makes optical read-out as specific as possible for chemical detection formats, while reducing the overall complexity of experimental layouts in a high-throughput scenario. The systems software is particularly suited to enhancing compatibility for automated high-throughput data analysis workflows.

The LightCycler?® 1536 Multiwell Plate is the first high-density PCR plate for real-time PCR applications. By using Thermaxis?® technology, this unique multiwell plate enables unsurpassed thermal performance in miniaturized reaction volumes of only 0.5 - 2 ?µL. The plate consists of two components: a thermally conductive unit containing well-like structures for the reaction liquid and an insulating top layer that prevents the heated lid of the instrument from affecting the analysis.
