I have ONLY to select between two options of real time PCR machines: Bio-Rad cfx96 touch or Rotor-Gene Q 5plex platform. In fact, I know the major technical differences like heating and cooling systems, number of channels..etc. However, my question is: Is there anybody who USED and compared both system and can tell the practical differences? The major tasks of our real time PCR machine will be diagnosis of infectious diseases with focus on multiplex targets.
Thanks in advance for your help!
