Roche LightCycler 480 II Real-Time PCR System (384-Well) — Passes Boot Diagnostics
Item Condition Note: This instrument was recently decommissioned and removed from a fully operational, working laboratory environment. Upon arrival at our facility, it was powered on and successfully passed its internal initialization sequence, completing the boot test with both indicator lights solid green. This verifies the core hardware and optical sub-systems are healthy.
Product Description
Up for sale is a clean, structurally sound Roche LightCycler 480 II thermal cycler, configured with a high-throughput 384-well block. The LightCycler 480 II is an industry-standard platform for high-performance real-time PCR, known for its outstanding temperature homogeneity and optical precision.
Please note that this listing is for the host instrument only. It does not include an external computer data station or the proprietary Roche analysis software. This unit is an exceptional, cost-effective drop-in replacement for a laboratory that already owns an identical setup or has access to the appropriate matching data infrastructure.
Bonus Value — Database Login Included: The original laboratory technician recorded the exact database administrator credentials on top of the instrument chassis (Username: Admin / admin, Password: Roche 480* / LightCycler480). Having these credentials readily available eliminates the common headache of database lockout and makes integration drastically easier for your IT team.
