Combining throughput, efficiency and robust design, the Hydrocycler range of water bath thermal cyclers offer an attractive alternative to traditional peltier-based thermal cyclers for high throughput PCR.

The use of water to conduct heat to a PCR sample offers a number of distinct advantages, including the ability to process many plates in parallel for tremendous throughput with zero variation in temperature from plate to plate, plus up to a 40% faster cycling time since there is no need to ramp temperatures up or down throughout the PCR cycle. Plates are simply moved from one temperature bath to another via an automated mechanism, and the temperature of each bath remains absolutely consistent and can be precisely controlled.
