Hi Jeswin,
Basically it was far cheaper to create this machine for 16 wells than for 96 wells, and I wanted to introduce something at a very affordable price range first. I think qPCR is a very powerful technique that too few people do because the hardware is so expensive. For many applications you can not only get quantitative data, but also avoid running gels which dramatically increases your workflow.
So at 16 wells it wouldn't be much of a plate, though of course the spacing is the same so you could cut up your 96 well plates into 8 16 well plates if you wanted. Or just use 8-tube strips.
