BIO-RAD CFX96 TOUCH REAL-TIME PCR DETECTION SYSTEM — C1000 TOUCH CHASSIS + CFX96 OPTICS — 280 TOTAL HOURS

C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler chassis — Base S/N CT004468

CFX96 Optical Reaction Module — S/N 785BR08546, manufactured 07/2012

CFX96 block, 96 × 0.2 ml — Block S/N RN031028

Complete six-channel qPCR system for gene expression, genotyping, pathogen detection, and multiplex assays. The CFX96 optics module turns the C1000 Touch chassis into a full real-time instrument with five-target multiplexing in a single well, and the system runs stand-alone from the touchscreen or under PC control.

The number that matters: 280 total hours, displayed on the instrument's own About screen and photographed. For a platform rated for years of continuous service, this unit has barely been used.

CONDITION

Used — Inspected and functionally tested. Powers on, lid actuates, and the instrument was run under remote control from Bio-Rad CFX Maestro software with a protocol loaded (see photographs). Clean block and optics; light cosmetic wear on the housing.
