Alpha Cycler 4 by PCRmax

The Alpha Cycler 4 (AC-4) is the only true fully independently controllable multi-block thermal cycler available today.

PCRmax developed this system not only with the high throughput market in mind but also for standard throughput and multiple user environments who are space conscious and have requirements for multiple users and block formats. The system can be specified in any combination of 96 and 384 well formats across its four bays. 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 as-well-as allowing users’ access to temperature logs after each run to monitor the state of the system.

The Alpha Cycler systems also contain a novel programme wizard which allows users to define a protocol based specifically off their primer sequence and template source. Primer sequences or Tms are inputted, amplicon length and source defined and the on board algorithm generates an optimised protocol for your assay.

Features:

• Scalable - Chose from any combination of 96 or 384 well blocks
• Compact - Save precious labspace by condensing four truly independent blocks into one chassis with no networking issues or connectivity concerns
• Active Sample cooling - For sharper amplification and minimal non-specific amplification
• Programme Wizard - Generate a protocol specific to your sequence, template source and amplicon length in seconds
• Reporting via handheld device - Monitor the health and accuracy of the system to ensure your data quality never suffers Gradient - Allowing for simplified temperature optimisation, no matter the block chosen
• 96/384 well formats - Flexibility for any scale and user needs USB connectivity - To retrieve system information and easily transfer protocols between systems
• Android driven 10” tablet interface - Quad core speed and excellent connectivity and feel
