Thermal cycler PCR - 110/220 V 50/60 Hz

BASIC PRINCIPLE

The equipment performs a certain quantity of thermal cycles depending on the method

used and repeat them many times for a while, and at the end, the initial DNA

fragment Fiber have been replicated thousands times.

For a better process output, changes between temperature levels must be made with

minimum time. With thermocycler K96, the cycle temperature can be reached in seconds,

even if beginning from remote positions of the last set point. These changes

take place by keeping a perfect uniformity between different block points.

The system can also be programmed to produce a linear gradient of temperature

widthways the block. This achieves that the highest level of productivity points of the

process is optimized and located.

FEATURES

The thermocycler is composed of an inner lid system with heater and with adjustable

height in order to perfectly adapt to the samples size. This prevents condensations

in the upper side of the samples.

The equipment is based on a heat bomb controlled by continuous electric current and

composed by several thermo electrical modules of Peltier effect, a low thermal resistance

radiator and a fan convention system.

As it is integrated in the same block, this system allows increasing the process output

and also fast transferring and extracting the block’s temperature, going from the

highest temperature level to the lowest in a minimum time.

The powerful control microprocessor allows monitoring the point where the process

is at any moment, and showing it on the screen with real-time graphic images.

There is a useful elaborated software for processes organization, accessible by means

of the keyboard and a high resolution LCD screen.

INTERCHANGEABLE BLOCKS

Each block incorporates a connector that identifies it and allows the thermocycler to recognize

it. There’s also an extractor handle which makes easy the block support use.
