Streck Zulu RT qPCR Instrument

Streck has launched the Zulu RT, a rapid, modular qPCR instrument capable of simultaneously performing four independent experiments. The instrument uses proprietary thermal technology (ramp speeds of 15° C/second for heating and 12° C/second cooling) and powerful optics that enable it to perform a 40-cycle, six-channel, three-step real-time PCR protocol in less than 20 minutes for volumes from 10 µL to 50 µL. The system's modularity allows multiple users at once, in essence acting as four individual thermal cyclers in one, Streck said.
