T-COR 4™
The Tetracore T-COR 4™ is a hand-portable, battery-powered, PCR instrument. The system is capable of running four independent samples simultaneously. However, only two detection channels are available for each assay, therefore, typically only one target and one internal positive control assay are performed in each assay tube. The instrument kit includes a small, battery-operated centrifuge (pictured) used during sample preparation.
