 LightScanner® System
The LightScanner is the first and only instrument to utilize Hi-Res Melting® for mutation scanning and genotyping in a 96- or 384-well plate system. This exciting technology, licensed exclusively to Idaho Technology, is based on U.S. Patent No. 7,387,887 (Nucleic Acid Melting Analysis with Saturation Dyes) and U.S. Patent Publication 2006-0019253 (Amplicon Melting Analysis with Saturation dyes).
The LightScanner is unsurpassed in its temperature control and data acquisition rates. With superb sensitivity and specificity, this instrument is designed to meet the needs of high throughput scanning projects. Simply add LCGreen® dye to the initial PCR reaction– then transfer the PCR plate to the LightScanner for melting. Intuitive analysis software groups the results and provides automatic results. |
