PR1MA TC9639 Gradient Thermal Cycler

The PR1MA TC9639 Thermal Cycler provides consistent, reliable results for laboratories with medium to high throughput. From its large, touch-screen user interface to its unique, multi-format block, this cycler is loaded with features. The program wizard and 10 pre-installed programs make it easier than ever to get up and running.

The fully adjustable heated lid prevents condensation and evaporation of samples. Lid temperature can be programmed, and when the block temperature is below 35°C, the lid automatically shuts off. The heating and cooling of the block are precisely and accurately controlled within exceptionally tight tolerances by a proprietary algorithm that simulates sample temperature.

With the multi-format block, there is no need for the expense of multiple interchangeable blocks. The PR1MA TC9639 has the flexibility to accept 96 × 0.2 mL tubes, a 96-well plate, 0.2 mL strips or 39 x 0.5 mL tubes all in the same sample block. For protocol optimization, a gradient can be set up across the block. An optional in-situ adapter allows for the incubation of slides. Additionally, the unit may be purchased with a 384-well sample block.

Compatible with PR1MA and Accuris PCR reagents. For research use only.

A large, full-color touchscreen serves as the operations center where all functions are accessed. From the “Home” screen, simply touch an icon to view the last run program, enter the program library, or use the program wizard to quickly enter a protocol. In addition, icons for favorite programs can be added for faster access.

The program wizard guides users through quickly setting up a protocol on a single screen. Once entered, programs are shown graphically and can be edited by simply touching the step that requires modification. Time and temperature increments can be built into programs as well as slower ramp rates. Storage capabilities are unlimited; programs can be stored in public folders, private (password-protected) folders, or on a flash drive. The full virtual keyboard allows for alphanumeric naming of programs and folders.

 PR1MA LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler

  • "Mini" sized, 9 x 7 inch footprint
  • Capacity for 32 x 0.2 mL or 4 PCR Strips
  • Intuitive touchscreen control

 

"Mini-sized" doesn't have to mean a sacrifice on features and performance. PR1MA's LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler offers advanced programming features, easy-to-use software, and fast, reliable cycling but with a smaller block and lower price point.

 

Designed for lower throughput needs, the PR1MA LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler has a capacity for 32 x 0.2 mL tubes. The wells are arranged in a 4 x 8 format, allowing the block to accept strips of 8 as well as individual tubes. The block heats and cools very quickly - at rates as fast as 5°C/second. A proprietary algorithm controls block temperature, bringing samples quickly to the target temperature without any over- or under-shoot. Excellent block uniformity ensures consistency from sample to sample.

 

The operation of the thermal cycler is controlled from the large, full-color, touch screen. Icon-driven menus allow users to get running quickly. Programming is extremely simple and includes options for time and temperature increments/decrements, adjustable ramp rates, and auto pause and restart functions. More than 100 typical programs can be stored in memory and easily recalled. After a run, samples can be held at 4°C. An on-screen report is also available at the completion of a run.

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. There are no knobs to turn or levers to adjust. The temperature of the heated lid can be changed, or the heating function of the lid may be turned off.

 

With a footprint less than that of the average laboratory notebook, the PR1MA LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler will fit almost anywhere. Its reduced capacity block and economical price make the PR1MA LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler the perfect choice for lower throughput laboratories and educational facilities.
