Alpha Cycler 4 PCRmax

The PCRmax Alpha cyclers are developed to deliver not only the best quality data you can expect from PCRmax but also to innovate and exceed the high standards expected by the community.

Alpha Cycler software has features such as recently used programmes; allowing users 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.

The Alpha Cycler systems also contain a novel programme wizard which allows users to define a protocol based specifically off their primer sequence and template source. Primer sequences or Tms are inputted, amplicon length and source defined and the on board algorithm generates an optimised protocol for your assay.

Alpha Track App: Track the progress of runs and health of your system remotely via your app.

The Alpha Track Application works in conjunctions with the Version 2 software on any Alpha Cycler to allow users to:

Alpha App Tracker
  • Remotely track the progress of runs
  • Send a health report for diagnosis by the technical support team
  • Be notified of any issues and potentially prevent system failures occuring.

Download
  • Scalable - Chose from any combination of 96 or 384 well blocks
  • Compact - Save precious labspace by condensing four truly independent blocks into one chassis with no networking issues or connectivity concerns
  • Active Sample cooling - For sharper amplification and minimal non-specific amplification
  • Programme Wizard - Generate a protocol specific to your sequence, template source and amplicon length in seconds
  • Gradient - Allowing for simplified temperature optimisation, no matter the block chosen
  • Report generated on run conditions and state following completion of protocol
  • 96/384 well formats - Flexibility for any scale and user needs USB connectivity - To retrieve system information and easily transfer protocols between systems
  • Android driven 10” tablet interface - Quad core speed and excellent connectivity and feel
