Product Description
The YR01867 Thermal Cycler is a state-of-the-art device that caters to the advanced needs of contemporary laboratories engaged in molecular biology applications. This unit comes with a throughput for 16 samples, making it suitable for experiments requiring efficiency and precision. Encapsulating the latest in technological development, this thermal cycler scans fluorescence through four dedicated channels with a remarkable scanning time of one second for all wells.
With a sophisticated dye compatibility range across its four channels—Channel 1 accommodating FAM, SYBR GreenⅠ, SYTO 9, Eva Green, LC Green, Channel 2 adaptable for HEX, VIC, TET, JOE, and Channel 3 supporting Texas Red, ROX, while Channel 4 is aligned with Cy5—the YR01867 stands out for its versatility. It ensures both an average heating rate of 3.3℃/s and an expedited maximum heating rate of 5.0℃/s, alongside cooling options that are equally efficient at 3.0℃/s on average.
Precision is maintained with a temperature accuracy of ≤0.1℃, and the device employs a high-brightness, long-life, maintenance-free LED light source. Complementing this hardware are control modes that include a 7-inch touchscreen, computer software, and remote access via a Windows tablet, providing flexibility in operation and management.
The thermal cycler supports various PCR protocols including conventional PCR, touchdown PCR, and long PCR. It serves a broad spectrum of applications such as qualitative and quantitative analysis, endpoint fluorescence, and SNP analysis. Results can be directly analyzed or exported through a connected PC. The system’s small footprint (205mm x 156mm x 153mm) and weight (3.2kg) add to its utility in diverse lab environments.
