HOW CIELO IS DOING BETTER qPCR

Simplicity

With Cielo, you can start your run at the bench and view results from anywhere.

Easily connect to your Cielo via Wi-Fi, ethernet, USB or LAN. Connectivity to Wi-Fi, USB, e-mail, and external PCs allow you to easily export your data. Get notified after each completed run and even remotely access protocols and files.

Flexibility

Up to 6 fluorescent channels allow for flexible dye usage and broad application flexibility.

Novel fiber optic detection system allows for enhanced sensitivity and speed. The option of 3 or 6 standard channels allows you to analyze a variety of commercially available dyes.

Sensitivity

Individual illumination and scanning of each well allows for specific and precise detection of qPCR signals

Unlike systems that use whole plate imaging, Cielo uses in-well excitation and detection so no light falls outside of the well, reducing background noise.

Because the excitation light path length is the same well-to-well, Cielo does not require reference dyes, freeing one additional channel for another target.

Reproducibility​

Optics and thermal block designed to deliver the same uniformity and reproducibility over and over again

Results from the Cielo are easily repeatable across runs. 1.3-fold differences in gene expression can be detected.
