Gentier Real-Time PCR System
A. Overview
1. Application Fields
The Gentier real-time PCR system is intended for performing rapid, accurate polymerase chain
reaction (PCR), meanwhile real-time measuring the nucleic acid signals from DNA-binding
fluorescent dyes or labeled probes and converts them to comparative quantitative readouts of
DNA or reverse transcribed RNA.
The Gentier real-time PCR system can be used in medical institution laboratories and clinical
laboratories for infectious pathogens (such as viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc.)
detection; or multiple tumor marker tests of neoplastic diseases, etc. For scientific research, it
could be used for the fluorescence quantitative or qualitative analysis of genetic materials
DNA/RNA in fields of immunology, molecular biology, forensic science, genetics, archeology,
zoology, phytology, etc.
2. Product Constitute and Instrument Structure
2.1 Product Constitute
The Gentier real-time PCR system is mainly consisted of control system, power system,
temperature control system, detection system, man-machine interface system and instrument
shell, etc.
Among them, the temperature control system includes Peltier heating module, sample block and
hot lid, etc; the detection system includes LED excitation light source, photodiodes and light
filter, etc; the man-machine interface system includes data acquisition and analysis software,
which is mainly responsible for real-time data collection, fluorescence diagram formation, data
processing and diagram analysis, in order to quantify or characterize the target nucleic acid and
obtain other test report information, etc.
