Hi Jeroen,
I assume you are planning to use Sypro Orange. We are using the Roche LC480 (simply because it's around in the lab next door) and it does the job although it's a little inconvenient to tweak the settings.
Many people use the iCycler from Biorad. This machine is a little more flexible and can be customized: You can introduce filter pairs of your choice and play with other dyes such as ANS-1.8. We intend to do that since sypro orange binds to quite a number of our proteins before heating (which perhaps tells you something about our proteins but lets blame the dye first).

Betreff: [ccp4bb] Thermofluor
Sorry for the off-topic but can somebody recommend highly a sensitive
RT-PCR machine for the thermofluor experiment (sypro orange).
That would imply excitation below 500 nm (ideally 470) and detection at
about 570 nm, right? I know several simple machines have a problem with
the 570 nm...
Jeroen.
