For high-throughput applications or busy labs, the PTC-225 or ‘Tetrad’ DNA Engine Tetrad may be the best option. This allows up to eight separate blocks to run synchronous or independent reactions. A compact footprint is maintained by housing the power supply separately outside the chassis, good for tight spaces or robotic applications.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Features & Specifications:
Hot Bonnet heated lid incorporates a thumbwheel to adjust height and pressure. This feature assures tight sealing of reaction vessels even microplates during oil-free thermal cycling
Peltier-effect heat pumps robustly designed for repeated cycling deliver the full temperature range of 0°-100°C electronically
Ramping speed up to 3°C/sec for all single and dual block Alpha units; 1.2 °C/sec for the Twin Tower
Thermal homogeneity: ±0.4°C well-to-well within 30 seconds of arrival @ 90°C for most Alpha units
Memory stores approximately 200 programs up to 12 individual folders. Any sequence of temperatures can be cycled up to 10,000 times; ramping rates less than maximum may be specified
Extremely accurate incubations, with NIST-traceable calibration. Any temperature including below-ambient temperatures may be held indefinitely. This feature allows refrigeration after an unattended run
Parallel printer port (optional) allows the instrument to print thermal profiles in real time and document programs in hard copy. Additionally, an analog jack can output to a 0- 5 volt chart recorder
Power-failure protection will resume program after power interruptions of up to twelve hours
4-bay high-throughput thermal cycling IET – Used Lab Equipment – Refurbished Analytical Laboratory Instruments
Up to 8 individual sample blocks, which can be controlled independently or as a group
Up to 1536 samples can be processed simultaneously
Internal power supply-no separate “boxes” to accommodate
High-density color display and on-board mousepad, with point-and-click navigation of software
Real-time monitoring of cycling temperature
Superb thermal accuracy of blocks within ±0.3°C of NIST standard at 90°C, average across block (±0.4°C for dual block Alphas)
Thermal range of -5° to 105°C but no more than 30 °C below ambient temperature
