The Rotor-gene^TM is produced by Corbett Research, Australia. It has the following features

• It is the worlds first centrifugal real-time DNA amplification system.
• It uses a standard 0.2mL tube format with 10 ul or 20 ul reactions volumes and hence saves on the costs of glass capillaries, reagents and flurophore probes. As the reaction vessel is made of plastic, there is no breakage and loss of valuable source material unlike glass capillaries.
• It has the ability to read a wide variety of flurophores. As it has a dual channel, multiplexing is easily achieved.
• Rapid cycling times mean that PCR can be completed within an hour.
• Made and supported by Corbett Research an extremely reliable manufacturer with extensive experience and history in thermal cyclers.

Below is the research that is being conducted in my laboratory, the Molecular Microbial Biotechnology Laboratory at Griffith Universty using a Rotor-Gene.
