Tercyc
Four-channel DNA-amplifier Tercyc is designed for amplification in tubes 0.5 ml. The device is a single module combining 4 independently controlled thermal units.
Advantages of Tercyc:
- each thermal unit can hold up to 10 test tubes with the volume of the reaction mix ranging from 10 to 50 μL;
- the device supports three methods of regulating the temperature of a reaction mix:
- passive (based on the temperature of the unit);
- two active methods (a mathematical model);
- the LCD display allows for programs to be entered and for thermocycling to be controlled and operated without the need for a regular PC;
- the device can work with any IBM compatible PC;
- low variation of temperature within a thermal unit;
- noiseless operation;
- the quality of the reaction is improved significantly due to more accurate conditions for primer annealing, ensuring high activity of the Taq DNA polymerase and reducing the accumulation of non-specific amplification products.
Independent channels make it possible:
- to perform several assays simultaneously;
- have several users operating the device at the same time;
- expedite the optimization of new reaction conditions;
- treat up to 40 samples using the same program regimen during large-scale tests.
