We are about to start our diagnostic lab for Fragile X, and the real-time machine that appeals to us is LineGene 9600 Plus (https://www.biosan.lv/en/products/molecular-diagnostics/amplificationpcr/linegene-9600-plus-real-time-pcr-detection-system)
Its specifications are satisfactory. However, we could not find any feedback.
So if any of you has worked with this model, please, let us know if it is worth purchasing it. What are pros and cons that you have encountered while working with this qPCR machine.
Your feedback may turn out to be decisive for us.

Hi,
I have not used this particular model, but another model form the same make. There were some issues (related to data capture) with the model which we could not resolve and finally resort to another instrument. Here also I would advice you to get in touch with the other users of this model and seek their opinion before ordering one. I have one concern, which is not clear in the specifications, the scan speed seems low (5.5 s for whole plate)...does the detector take one image of the whole plate or there is a sequential detector (which was the case in the model I used previously) from A1 to H12. This will give some lag in overall detection and may have some disadvantages in certain protocols..check with the technical team..
bets regards
Hello good day!
I have experience with a Thermofisher equipment. Https://www.thermofisher.com/en/home/life-science/pcr/real-time-pcr/real-time-pcr-instruments/quantstudio-7-flex-real-time-pcr-system. Html
The descriptions are very close to LineGene, but have more filters.
I liked the optical system, efficient and highly reliable, including for diagnostic kit validation.
If you go with a large scale diagnosis, I suggest the Q7 flex.
