PCRmax Alpha Cyclers The PCRmax Alpha Cyclers are developed to deliver not only the best quality data you can expect from a thermal cycler but also to innovate and exceed the high standards expected by the community. Alpha Cycler AC-1 The single block Alpha Cycler 1 (AC-1) is a compact and feature driven entry level PCR machine with ease of use and performance at its core. Alpha Cycler software has features such as recently used Programs; allowing users to quickly access their most commonly used protocols without the need to navigate through folders to find it, individual user logins; with...

Alpha Cycler AC-4 The Alpha Cycler 4 (AC-4) is the only true fully independently controllable multi-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 as-well-as allowing users’ access to temperature logs after each run to monitor the state of the system. AC-4 Key features • Scalable - Chose from any combination of...

Interface The Alpha Cycler interface is Android based and runs though a large 7” (AC-1) or 10” (AC-4) HD touchscreen for responsive control of the software. Providing a familiar premium experience on all instruments in the range. Whether you process a few samples a week or require multi-block instrumentation for high throughput, the interface offers the same look and feel no matter the task. Live progress view Program Wizard Program Wizard The Alpha Cycler systems also contain a novel Program wizard which allows users to define a protocol based specifically off their primer sequence and...

Personalised login Reporting What do you want to know from your PCR machine? When its done, when Further monitoring/reports its going to finish and is there a problem. All of these things will be reported Temperature logs of every run out of the Alpha Cycler to your mobile (Android, iOS or Windows) or hand Completion status held device simply by scanning the QR code displayed on the Alpha Cycler, Full screen timer to easily check remaining time allowing users to monitor there run without needing to be connected to a network and conveniently though there own mobile device. Speed. Confidence....

Gradient Technology All Alpha Cycler block formats, 96 or 384 well, run gradients across the 12 or 16 columns respectively. Allowing for a much finer optimisation of your temperatures and by extension more specific PCR product amplification. Each block also contains 6 individual heat sources (peltier elements) which are monitored and controlled by the system for improved accuracy of gradient and fixed hold temperatures. With the Alpha cycles gradient converter you can in one click adjust the gradient step to the specific temperature of the column that gave the best results: no need to...

Also available PCRmax Eco 48 Real time qPCR system The PCRmax Eco 48 real time PCR system is a high specification, economically priced real time thermal cycler that accommodates a unique 48-well polypropylene PCR plate utilising the same geometry as standard 384-well plates, but only 1/8 of the size. This enables users to dramatically reduce the qPCR reagent volumes compared to traditional 96-well instruments, saving users precious sample, whilst still producing a strong fluorescence signal. Minimizing the plate size also significantly improves thermal uniformity. A minimum volume of 5µl is...
