Thermo Scientific Instruments TCA0001 Arktik Thermal Cycler

Principle

Reliability, versatility and ease-of-use

Thermo Scientific Arktik™ Thermal Cycler is a reliable and flexible PCR instrument for the everyday requirements of any laboratory. It is suitable for a wide range of applications from individual reactions to high-throughput projects.

Flexibility with interchangeable blocks

Interchangeable blocks allow the Arktik Thermal Cycler to be quickly and easily transformed from a 96-well to a 384-well PCR instrument. With the dual block the instrument operates as two 48-well units, enabling two independent protocols to be performed simultaneously. The blocks feature a patentpending heat sink design that improves the speed and thermal uniformity of the system.

Broad and accurate temperature gradient speeds up protocol optimization

Tedious temperature optimization can be simplified to a single experiment with the Arktik Thermal Cycler’s advanced gradient feature. The gradient range is broad – up to 30°C – and accurate, allowing easy temperature optimization.

Reliable and quiet instrument for demanding use

State-of-the-art Peltier technology employed in heating and cooling of the blocks ensures that the instrument maintains its high level of performance in demanding use. An overtightening protection system in the heated lid simplifies setting the correct pressure for PCR vessels used. The low noise level of the instrument is an additional benefit when the instrument is placed in the laboratory working space.

Ease-of-use

Ease-of-use is the key feature of the Arktik Thermal Cycler’s user interface. The protocol is displayed graphically, and the programming is simple with intuitive menus.
