Product news

Progen Scientific Ltd is pleased to introduce the CLP Apollo™ brand of Thermal Cyclers. These innovative products are world class, employ the very best engineering and exude quality. The design of these thermal cyclers gives the best thermal cycler on the market today.

First in the range is the ATC201 which utilizes the combi block for flexibility with either 0.2ml or 0.5ml tubes and a PCR result just as good as its peers through the same level of control and uniformity.

At the next level is The ATC401, fully featured with an automatic lid and a full 1-20°C gradient function. It's easy to use programming allows for a multitude of unusual protocols to be programmed that less versatile units can't match. Add to that the optional printer and we bring a sophisticated thermal cycler that is light on footprint but heavy on features.

Apollo™ brand Thermal Cyclers feature interchangeable blocks that are exchanged in seconds. The nickel plated aluminium blocks are available in 0.2ml, 0.5ml, 384 well and flat block for the ATC401. Fully interchangeable on the 401, these blocks are exchanged in a flash! Apollo™ brand Instrumentation features a system for all your PCR equipment and validation equipment needs.

Apollo ATC201 Thermal Cycler

The ATC 201 Thermal Cycler is a very economical, sub ambient high throughput thermal cycler. The ATC 201 is provided with a unique CombiBlock which can accommodate 96 x 0.2 ml or 48 x 0.5ml tubes. This Peltier driven device exhibits the same heating and cooling rates and block uniformity specification as more expensive models, and temperature can be controlled using either block or simulated tube control. Easy-to-use programming is accomplished via the large black and white touch screen LCD and the spring loaded hot lid ensures excellent sealing of both 0.2 and 0.5 ml tubes.

Features:

  • Combi-block for 96 x 0.2ml. tubes and 48 x 0.5ml. tubes
  • Black and white touch screen
  • Small footprint
  • Spring-loaded lid
  • 2 year warranty

Apollo ATC401 Gradient Thermal Cycler (without block)

The ATC 401 Thermal Cycler is a high performance, sub ambient, gradient thermal cycler with interchangeable blocks that offers all the programming capability you will need from a thermal cycler. Features in the 401 include the unique helically controlled lid, the "iQ-Therm" dynamic temperature control modules and the largest full colour, touch screen LCD currently available. The ATC 401 will accept the full range of interchangeable block and temperature control options and is gradient compatible. The ATC 401 offers a highly sophisticated thermal cycler at a very affordable price.

Features:

  • Optimise with useful 20°C gradient
  • Choice of 4 blocks (order separately)
  • Innovative design
  • Small footprint
  • Colour touch screen
  • Advanced lid design - auto adjustable lid
  • 2 year warranty
