PCR System (Termocycler)

Precision
The LabCycler from germany  is characterized by precision in the smallest detail - naturally not only in development and production, but also in practical operation.

Quality

The tests are continuing...

Flexibility
The LabCycler has a unique system for exchanging the thermo block. So far there are three block formats; 48 wells for 0.5 ml, 96 wells for 0.2 ml or MTP 96 and MPT 364. The equipment is gradient capable and will soon be available in a robotic version.

Innovation
You really don't want to invest in a new cycler regularly. That's why we devise our systems with enough farsightedness, so that they leave room for future expansions. We keep developing the LabCycler for tomorrow's demands.

The User Interface
You know from experience: a cycler is only as good a its user interface. This is a lessin we have takes to heart our LabCycler has a larger scale touchscreen.

The window based surface is intuitively operated, allowing convenient programming of protocols.

The large programmable memory offers a clearly represented directory structure. The illuminated and coloured graphic display gives you all the important information t a glance and lets you follow everything in real time.

A familiar keypad complements the modern visual user interface. The protocols of the 16 most recent programme sequences can be retrieved at any time. By the way; You will heardly ever need the user manual. At a stroke of a key our context sensitive online help will inform you about the next steps.

The Thermo-block
The heart of our LabCycler is its thermo-block, setting new standards for temperature uniformity and ramp rate. There are gold coated silver blocks for 0.5 ml-tubes (48 wells), 96-wells MPT's and 384-wells MPT's, which through new contraction methods show exceptional temperature homogeneity with high heating (42^oC) and cooling (3.2^oC) rates. The homogeneity is further enhanced by a 6 zone regulation of course the block is gradient-capable.

The silver block has only half of the heat-capacity of an aluminium block, having the consumption of energy and as well the unwanted heating of the laboratory. The peltier elements of the latest generation can take hundreds of thousands of cycles. Due to out unique caging systems thethermo blocks module can be exchanged in seconds with one hand only. The inserted block is immediately operational. The block has its own processor, identifies itself to the device and stores its operational data. Extensive self check functions continuously verify the perfect condition of device and thermo block. Because the temperatures are measured by the block itself, one block will work identically in any machine.

The Heated Lid
The heated lid is integrated into the case lid's elegant design. Its linear opening and closing is made possible by an electronically controlled motor. Pressure and temperature are fully programmable. Through high power the heated lid quickly reaches its uniform temperature. Sealing of foils is possible. The temperature and force of the lid can be preselected for every programme.

The Upgrading
You also want to use your cycler in robotic systems ? No problem, Our device is equipped with interfaces for remoter control as wells s software updates.

Unique quick changing system for 48, 96, 384 wells.
