PCR max Alpha Cycler AC-4 Thermal Cycler

The Alpha Cycler 4 (AC-4) is the only true fully independently

controllable four block thermal cycler available today. The system can be specified in any combination of 96 and 384 well formats across its four bays. Alpha Cycler software allows the user to quickly access their most commonly used protocols without the need to navigate through folders to find it, individual user logins; with protected protocols aswell-as allowing users’ access to temperature logs after each run to monitor the state of the system.

• Compact – Small labspace footprint, condenses four truly independent blocks into one unit with no network/connectivity issues.

• Active Sample cooling – For sharper amplification and minimal non-specific amplification.

• Program Wizard – Generate a protocol specific to your sequence, template source and amplicon length in seconds .

• Report generated on run conditions and state following completion of protocol.

• USB connectivity and login/out function – Login and out to any system with it automatically configured to your defaults.

• Android driven 10” tablet interface – HD screen with excellent response
