Suitable for biotech and pharmaceutical firms, contract research organizations and large academic research groups, the fully automated platform helps life science researchers to carry out TSAs in 1536-well applications quickly and consistently.
Roche life Science application support consultant Dr Rama Badugu said: "Now researchers who currently run protein thermal shift assays on Roche’s LightCycler 480 instrument, using 96- or 384-well throughput, can also run these reactions on the LightCycler 1536 instrument.
"That enables them to increase throughput while reducing the amount of protein used in the reaction, which is a key benefit of the LightCycler platform."
According to the company, the LightCycler 1536 instrument is a rapid, high-throughput, plate-based real-time PCR amplification and detection system.
Based on LightCycler 480 platform, the instrument aggregates optical unit and block cycler technology and generates 1,536 data points in a single PCR run in less than 50 minutes.
It can also produce data for high-throughput gene expression profiling and high-throughput genotyping.
