Hi all,

There seems to be some problems with the machine at the moment and the Stratagene technical support has to be contacted.

Hi,

This is to inform the users who are planning to run qPCR on Monday and after. There are problems for our Stratagene /BCO qPCR machine. It looks normal this Saturday morning (7.9), but another run of my samples in Saturday afternoon took 6 hours instead of 3 hours under normal condition. I found one reason is that each denaturation step at 95oC will take roughly 3-4 minutes (normal 15 seconds).

I tried to restart computer and machine, but it didn’t help at all.

I hope who can take response to fix it. I’m willing to assist you for checking the problems.

Best, Gonghong
