Thermocycler Alpha Cycler

Description
The Alpha Cycler family form PCRmax provides a range of features which are specifically designed to meet the needs of modern researchers when amplifying DNA. Given the flexibility in format and block options (96 or 384 well) scaleability is core in the Alpha Cycler range. Alpha Cycler software has features such as recently used programmes, allowing users to quickly access their most commonly used protocols without the need to navigate through folders to find it, individual user logins, with protected protocols. The Alpha Cycler systems also contain a novel programme wizard which allows users to define a protocol based specifically on their primer sequence and template source. Primer sequences or TM's are entered, amplicon length and source defined and the on board algorithm generates an optimised protocol for your assay. The Alpha Cyclers range of block options allow for use of the most commonly used consumables from different manufacturers and includes 96 well plates (0.2 ml), tubes (0.2 ml), strip tubes (0.2 ml) and 384 well plates.
  • Single, dual or four block options available with either 96 or 384 well gradient blocks
  • Multi-block units have totally independent blocks for maximum flexibility
  • HD Android driven touchscreen interface for simplified programming
  • Generate and send instrument reports to diagnose the health of your system and identify any issues before they impact users work
  • Lock programs with user defined password
  • Alpha Track mobile app allows remote monitoring of run progress

Alpha Track App (free of charge): Track the progress of runs and health of your system remotely via the mobile app
The Alpha Track Application is used in conjunction with your Alpha Cycler and allows users to:
  • Remotely track the progress of runs
  • Send a health report for diagnosis by the technical support team
  • Be notified of any issues and prevent system failures before occurring

Real-time PCR-system Eco 48
High specification, economically priced real-time thermocycler. The Eco 48 system has a unique high thermal block uniformity (± 0.1°C). This uniformity as well as validated sample volumes of down to 5 µl enable an optimized reaction run time for 40 cycles down to only 15 minutes. The uniform temperature across the plate is achieved with a unique heating and cooling system that quickly enables a uniform temperature of ± 0.1°C in every well of the block within a fraction of a second of reaching each well temperature. This high uniformity eliminates the need for triplicates which reduces reagent running costs. Eco 48 accommodates a unique and economical 48-well PCR plate, the size of which is only 1/8 the size of a standard 96-well plate. The well format mirrors a 384-well plate therefore allowing the use of a 16-channel micropipette. The small plate cuts reagent costs in half whilst still producing a strong fluorescent signal. Applications include e.g. absolute and relative quantification, Allelic Discrimination and High Resolution Melt.Features:Validated volume per well: 5 to 20 µlHigh temperature uniformity of ± 0.1°C across the whole block instantly after every temperature change40 cycles in 40 minutes before optimization, and down to only 15 minutes when optimizedGenotype in 4 minutes with over 99% accuracyPatented "Adaptive LED Control" minimizes optical artifacts and prevents premature detector saturationDual LED excitation (452 nm to 486 nm and 542 nm to 582 nm)4 emission filters (505 nm to 545 nm, 562 nm to 596 nm, 604 nm to 644 nm, 665 nm to 705 nm)Data is always collected in all four filters for all wellsDistinguishes 5000 and 10000 template copies with 99 percent confidenceAdditional features:48-well blockMIQE compliant400 analyte specific qPCR reagent kits availableNo calibration requiredCalibrated dyes: SYBR®, FAMTM, HEXTM, ROXTM, Cy®5.Additional dyes within the filter wavelength range are supported with no additional calibration requiredUnlimited software licence2 years warrantyScope of supply:Real-time PCR-system Eco 48, EcoControl and EcoStudy software, USB stick, 50 plates, 50 plate seals, power and Ethernet cableSpecificationsTemperature range:30 to 100°CTemperature stability:±0.1°CTemperature uniformity:±0.1°C within 1secAverage ramp rate:5.5°C/secDimensions (W x D x H):345 x 310 x 320mmWeight:13.6kg
