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

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.
