### Details
### Introduction
##### Highest precision instrument
The FastGene® qFYR is a highest precision instrument for performing quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) experiments. qPCR is a well-established method for the sensitive detection and quantification of nucleic acids. During a measurement, the target DNA or RNA sequence is amplified, while a cycle-dependent increase of a fluorescent signal is detected in real-time.
##### The device for multiple applications
The FastGene® qFYR was developed to meet highest laboratory standards and deliver reliable performances for various real-time qPCR applications:
- Gene expression analysis
- Absolute and relative quantification
- Endpoint qualitative analysis
- Genotyping
- Gene mutation analysis
- Pathogen detection
- GMO detection
- Protein stability screening
- miRNA analysis
- Melting curve analysis
### Innovative Technology
##### High sensitivity optical design
The FastGene® qFYR has a unique, patented optical detection system. It combines a high quality MPPC detector with a Fresnel lens that has a short focal length. The resulting short distance from detector to sample reduces signal loss and cross-talk between samples, and generally improves signal sensitivity.
##### Superior thermal cycler performance
The FastGene® qFYR delivers excellent temperature control, temperature precision (± 0.2 °C) and uniformity over the entire 96-well plate. The unique hollowed out thermal block design reduces its overall weight and ensures rapid heating and cooling rates (up to 6 °C per second) for fast qPCR protocols. The system also uses state-of-the-art Peltier components for highest reaction quality and performance stability, providing reliable and consistent qPCR results.
##### Fast measurement with high performance LED channels
Due to the small distance between the scanning head and the plate, the FastGene® qFYR has an outstanding level of sensitivity and virtually no cross talk between the individual wells.
4 or 6 different colour channels are installed in the scanning head to be able to excite all commonly used qPCR dyes in a single plate scan (8 sec).
The FastGene® qFYR is available in 2 different versions, with:
- 4+1 channels (FastGene® qFYR: FG-QPTC01) and
- 6 channels (FastGene® qFYR **Plus**: FG-QPTC02).
**I) FastGene® qFYR (FG-QPTC01)**
The FastGene® qFYR (FG-QPTC01) has 4+1 channels: 4 different colour channels and 1 second FAM channel.
The dual FAM/SYBR channel allows melt curve and high resolution melt experiments to be performed in fast dual mode, halving the measuring time in this channel.
Channel 1: FAM/SYBR Green etc.
Channel 2: VIC/JOE/HEX/TET etc.
Channel 3: ROX/Texas Red etc.
Channel 4: Cy5 etc.
Channel 5: FAM/SYBR Green etc.
**II) FastGene® qFYR Plus (FG-QPTC02)**
The FastGene® qFYR Plus (FG-QPTC02) has 6 different colour channels.
Channel 1: FAM/SYBR Green etc.
Channel 2: VIC/JOE/HEX/TET etc.
Channel 3: ROX/Texas Red etc.
Channel 4: Cy5 etc.
Channel 5: Cy5.5/Quasar 705/Alexa Fluor 680
Channel 6: ATTO 42

### Application data
##### Generate high quality data
The combination of innovative optics and a high-precision thermal block ensure ideal amplification conditions. This makes the FastGene® qFYR ideal for various quantitative real-time PCR applications.
##### Outstanding homogeneity
FastGene® qFYR shows great homogeneity across all wells of a 96-well plate.
_Figure 1: Amplification of 1 ng plasmid DNA in all 96 wells of a PCR plate. The mean Cq value at a cycle number of 13.89 +/- 0.055 was determined automatically, illustrating highly homogenous amplification results obtained by the FastGene® qFYR._
##### Powerful multiplexing
FastGene® qFYR Plus can discriminate up to 6 different targets in a single reaction well, helping you save time, conserve reagents, and reduce samples usage without sacrificing precision.
_Figure 2: Multiplex amplification of six mammalian housekeeping genes (GAPDH, B2M, ACTG1, PGK1, HPRT1, and ACTB ). Each gene was detected using a different fluorescent probe: FAM – GAPDH, HEX – B2M, TexasRed – ACTG1, Cy5.5 – PGK1, ATTO425 – HPRT1, Cy5 – ACTB._
##### Accurate quantification
The broad dynamic range of the FastGene® qFYR ensures a reliable and accurate quantification.
_Figure 3: The amplification plot shows the log of change in normalized reporter fluorescence against the cycle number. The amplification took place from plasmid DNA with AMP specific primers in a 10-fold dilution series ranging from 1 ng to 1×10-6 ng plasmid DNA. The generated standard curve shows 100 % efficiency._
##### 1.3-fold target discrimination
With the FastGene® qFYR, smaller concentration differences can be distinguished with high accuracy, underlining the high sensitivity of the device.
_Figure 4: The amplification of plasmid DNA was carried out using AMP-specific primers with a 2-fold dilution series starting at 0.1 ng with additional dilutions of 1:1.3, 1:1.4, 1:1.5 and 1:1.6. Concentration differences can be detected up to 1:1.3-fold dilution._
##### Melt curve analysis
The Precision Melt Analysis Tool is a powerful method for probe-based allelic discrimination. This function is already included in the FastGene® qFYR analysis software and does not need to purchased additionally. 
_Figure 5: The difference plot of the high-resolution melting curve allows the discrimination between SNPs extracted from blood samples for brown eyes and two variants of blue eyes._
##### Gradient qPCR for optimal annealing
The thermal gradient function of the FastGene® qFYR can be used to determine the optimal annealing temperature of a specific target.
_Figure 6: Plasmid amplification with IC green dye was carried out in a 10-fold dilution series from 1 ng to 1×10-6 ng. This example of a thermal gradient experiment with 55 °C and 68 °C shows 55 °C to be the optimal annealing temperature with a 100% efficiency._
