R.A.P.I.D.® LT System

The R.A.P.I.D. LT is a real-time PCR instrument capable of analyzing samples for the presence of targeted nucleic acid sequences. Built upon LightCycler® technology, this instrument combines rapid air thermocycling and a real-time fluorimeter to reliably identify test samples in less than 35 minutes. Because of its sensitivity, accuracy, and high speed, it is the ideal instrument for rapid pathogen identification and genotyping.

Included with the instrument is a laptop computer pre-loaded with easy-to-use run and analysis software. The software operates the instrument, automatically collects and analyzes data, then reports the results in an easy-to-read and printable format. An advanced version of the software is also available, which provides in-depth analysis tools for precise PCR analysis and information-management modules.
