1. Introduction

Mini Thermal Cycler is a compact, accurate and economical thermal cycler, designed to fit lab’s basic thermal cycling needs. The operation of the thermal cycler is controlled by a 5-inch color touch screen. It has a capacity for 32x0.2ml tubes. The wels are arranged in a 4x8 format, allowing the block to accept strips of 8 as well as individual tubes. Excellent block uniformity ensures consistency sample to sample. Fast incubation function meets the experimental needs of denaturation, enzyme digestion / enzyme linkage, ELISA, etc. With a small footprint, the Mini Thermal Cycler will fit almost anywhere.

Features:

u   Capacity: 32x0.2ml tubes and 4x8 tube strips

u   Heating/cooling method: Peltier

u   5-inch intuitive color touch screen—for easy programming of users.

u   100 typical programs can be stored in memory and easily recalled.

u    The block heats and cools very quickly—at rates as fast as 4°C/sec.

u  The heated lid is self adjusting—the spring loaded platen in the lid comes firmly into contact with the tops of the tubes to prevent sample evaporation and condensation.

u  Temperature of heated lid can be changed or the heating function of the lid can be turned off.

u  After a run, samples can be held at 4°C.

u  An on-screen report is available at the completion of a run.
