Reliable Real-time qPCR Solution for Aquaculture & Food Safety Biosecurity：

PCR technology has been widely applied in the aquaculture industry for disease surveillance and health management. The Dhelix Q16R Real-time PCR Instrument is an ultra-portable hardware platform engineered for rapid diagnostic demands. Weighing just 3.2 kgs, this mini-body system requires no fluorescence calibration after moving, ensuring seamless field flexibility. Equipped with an efficient heating block and precise temperature control, it provides a highly stable testing environment for Real-time PCR for shrimp disease detection (such as WSSV, EHP, and AHPND).
Designed with an intuitive, large touchscreen interface, the Q16R features a 16-sample capacity that is highly accessible for grass-roots experimenters while maintaining laboratory-grade precision. Beyond the pond, it serves as a versatile food safety PCR detection system, fully capable of handling critical tasks such as GMO testing and African Swine Fever (ASF) surveillance. By integrating advanced dual-channel fluorescence scanning with flexible connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB), this system ensures high-efficiency biosecurity management anywhere, anytime.
