Hydrocycler - thermal cycler
Hydrocycler2
Combining throughput, efficiency and robust design, the Hydrocycler2 water bath thermal cycler offers an attractive alternative to traditional Peltier-based thermal cyclers for high-throughput PCR.
Water conducts heat – Using water to conduct heat to a PCR sample offers multiple advantages including the ability to process many plates or arrays in parallel for high throughput with minimal variation in temperature.
Fast cycling time – Cycling time is 40% faster since there’s no need to ramp temperatures up or down during the PCR cycle.
Precise temperature control – Plates and arrays automatically move between temperature baths, which remain consistent and precisely controlled.
Why choose the Hydrocycler2
Increased throughput
- Processes more than 145,000 samples in an eight-hour day*
- Supports 96-, 384-, and 1536-well formats
- Compatible with Nexar™, IntelliQube™, and Array Tape™
Efficient amplification
- Circulation Jet ensures temperature uniformity and eliminates edge effect
- Multi-bath system enhances cycling time and precision
- Minimal external heat generation—no need for air conditioning
- Compact footprint with tank covers to minimize evaporation
- Optimized protocols for plates and Array Tape
Intuitive user interface
- Simple and intuitive controls
- Integrated barcode tracking
- Report generation and log file review
Chemistry
- Supports all common end-point PCR chemistries and emulsion PCR (ePCR)
- Uniform temperature across plates and arrays for consistent results
*Throughput depends on cycling conditions and chemistry. Estimate based on 1536-plates and a standard KASP 36-cycle run totaling 1 hour 10 minutes.
