The Thermo Scientific PikoReal Real-Time PCR System is light and has an incredibly small footprint, making it ideal for use either with field applications or for personal use. The unique, durable device offers precise temperature control and this advanced thermal performance produces reliable and reproducible quantification results. PikoReal software controls the PikoReal qPCR system and any qPCR experiment can be remotely controlled from a computer or saved to a USB stick for stand-alone use with the PikoReal instrument. Modules for melting curve analysis, High Resolution Melting (HRM), allelic discrimination, and absolute and relative quantification are included in the PikoReal software.
