The Bio-Rad CFX96 PCR system is a highly versatile PCR sytem:

• Precise and accurate quantitative PCR with high sensitivity.

• Simultaneous detection of multiple targets, saving time and reducing sample volume. (Multiplexing)

• Wide dynamic range for detecting a broad range of target concentrations.

• Thermal gradient capability for optimizing PCR conditions quickly.

• Connectivity for seamless data transfer and collaboration.

• Compliance features for regulated environments. (When you Purchase the 21 CFR Part 11 compliance modal from Bio-Rad)

• Versatility in various applications, such as gene expression and pathogen detection.

• Reliable performance and support from Bio-Rad.

•  Compatibility with Bio-Rad reagents for optimal results.
  

Summary of testing & maintenance we perform (depending on included configuration):

• We inspect the C1000 & CFX96 for physical damage.
• The PCR machine is inspected and cleaned.
• Mechanical components inspected, adjusted, and lubricated if necessary
• The proper operation of electronic components is confirmed
• Necessary repairs and services performed to make sure the PCR machine will function as intended
• We test the operation of the LEDs. 
• We check the operation of the cooling fans.(Commonly overlooked)
• Multiple Protocol runs to various temperatures, including min and max to ensure full thermal operation.
• Self-tests are performed to ensure no prominent failures.
• The system is cleaned before reassembly.

You will need the following consumables starting out: 

• 96-Well PCR Plates | Bio-Rad
• CFX96 Qualification Plate #1845098 | Bio-Rad
• PCR Reagents & qPCR Reagents | Bio-Rad
• CFX Maestro Software 2.3 for Windows PC #12013758 | Bio-Rad – If you need the Bio-Rad software.

We offer both onsite and remote demos via Zoom.

• We invite you to come in for an onsite Demo or schedule a Zoom demo of the Bio-Rad CFX96.

Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR qPCR system comes with a 90-Day Warranty.

Warranty Terms:

• The warranty term is 90 Days from the date of the real-time PCR's arrival at the destination.
• This includes parts and labor.

Exceptions: 

• The warranty does not cover improper use.
• Damage to the system due to pushing the lid up or down.
• Electrical damage from plugging into an incorrect voltage. 
• Improper storage procedures.
• Issues caused by lack of proper standard maintenance.
• Water damage.
• Physical damage.

Optional Training Package:

We can offer Bio-Rad CFX96 Cytometer training (Remote setup, general instrument usage, and maintenance procedures guidance). This service is recomended to avoid alot of above issues. 

Basic steps to confirm quality:

• Confirm that internal optics are clean; this is often a complex undertaking if not already done.
• Confirm there is no present physical damage to the connector between the C1000 and CFX optics module.
• Confirm that each channel provides clean signals with the required sensitivity and intensity.
• Make sure the lid is not damaged and opens/closes smoothly.
• Make sure the screen operates and was not damaged.
• Ensure that the system operates through the full temperature range without error.
• Confirm that the Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR qPCR is appropriate to your application; 
• Confirm that the fans operate for proper temperature control.
• Make sure there are no missing components; it won`t be fast or inexpensive to correct.

If you have concerns, we highly recommend inspecting the Real-Time PCR system in person or doing a live Zoom call; this will allow you to evaluate the CFX96 and confirm that everything works.

• We stock multiple Bio-Rad CFX Touch Real-Time PCR qPCR systems along with many replacement parts.

• If you are a US or Canadian customer, we are likely already a registered vendor in your University's vendor system. This would greatly expedite the process of PO approvals and get the Real-Time PCR system into your lab faster.
• POs are accepted from US and Canadian universities.

• We can ship within a few days to 2 weeks. Ship times depend on the current demand for our instruments. Members of our sales team will be able to offer current estimates.

• All Real-Time PCR Systems are shipped fully insured within the US and internationally as long as we are a shipper and handle shipping arrangements.
• If the buyer handles shipping, then shipping insurance responsibility falls to the buyer; we highly advise that the buyer obtain shipping insurance from their carrier.

Packing

• Most PCR Sytems ship in fully enclosed ISPM-15 certified wooden crates, with proper padding underneath and the sides, and have moving components braced.
• Accessories are packed safely in boxes with padding and then safely packed inside the crate.
• We may not use a crate for local deliveries or smaller PCRs to save you money *if delivered by us.
• We often use “tilt’ & “shock” indicators on the crates to ensure the crate has not been excessively tilted and dropped where equipment may suffer damage.
• Photos are taken during the packing process to make sure nothing is missed.

USA/Canada Shipping

• Within US and Canada, we will ship via selected freight carriers. We do not use low-price/high-damage carriers as we want the equipment to get safely to you.

International Shipping

• Internationally we will only ship via Air Freight or Air Parcel (such as UPS, or DHL), which provides reliability, no exposure to Ocean weather, and timely delivery.
  We have extensive experience shipping Real-Time PCR Systems around the world.

Our experience and process

• We have safely packed and shipped hundreds of sensitive analytical instruments, including Real-Time PCR.
• Before final packing/shipping, the PCR is re-checked to verify performance.

A lot…and it is certainly worth it, and here is why.  Feel free to ask for feedback from hundreds of customers that bought from us.

• You will save around 66-80% vs. buying a new PCR Machine.  Why not spend leftover funds on another instrument for your lab?
• You will get a 90 days warranty, plus, when available, an option to obtain an extended warranty agreement. 
• Get peace of mind knowing that your instrument was tested and working the day it left our facility and is covered if there are faults.

Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR qPCR is a predecessor model to the CFX Opus Real-Time PCR System; The Opus could be priced up to $55,000. So why not save your funds by buying Bio-Rad CFX96 PCR, get the high-quality data quality you expect from Bio-Rad, and use your leftover funds elsewhere?

• Well, this one is easy; buying a pre-owned Bio-Rad CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR is great for the planet; you are reducing unnecessary waste, CO2 output, and water use that would be used during the manufacturing process.
