Indy Air Thermocycler
|
 |
"The Indy can complete a 30 cycle reaction in less than 35 minutes. Finally, a machine that can keep up with the speed of the biochemistry."
Efficiency
Using a standard three temperature profile, heat
block cyclers can take two to three times longer than an air thermocycler.
This slow temperature rate hinders research and increases the time to
produce results. Indy races ahead of the competition by completing a three
temperature, 30 cycle reation in less than 35 minutes. Finally, a machine
that can keep up with the speed of the biochemistry.
Cleaner Product
High speed thermocycling leaves less
time for primer extension at non-specific annealing sites. The amount of
nonspecific product is often a direct result of the time spent at low
temperatures. Indy's rapid transitions maximize product specificity.
Maximum Yield
As a reaction proceeds, the efficiency
decreases. This is due in part to competition between primers and reaction
product. Rapid cool-down (> 2.5°C/sec) favors the kinetics of primer
annealing over the thermodynamic advantage of product reannealing. This in
turn yields a higher final concentration of product.
Quick & Easy Programming
Indy's clean backlit screen
provides clear and easy programming instructions, making even the most
complex protocols simple to program. Once the cycling begins, Indy's run
screen displays precise data as to where you are in your reaction process.
Indy can store up to 10 individual users and allow each user to save up to
20 programs each, that's 200 saved programs.

Blazing Speed
Air cycling provides unmatched ramping and
cooling rates, making Indy two-to-three times faster than standard heat
block thermocyclers. These quick cycle times are achieved with standard
0.2 ml PCR sample tubes.
Compact in Size
The 20 cm X 15
cm X 23 cm footprint is the smallest of any thermocycler on the market,
making it possible for every researcher to have an Indy air thermocycler
in their personal workspace.
Uniform and Accurate Temperature
Control
The instrument's cylindrical chamber provides sample-to
sample uniformity within +/- 0.5 °C. Because the entire sample tube is
enclosed in the sample chamber, Indy does not require a heated lid. The
chamber is heated via a resistive heating element and cooled with ambient
air.
Quick Reaction Optimization
The unparalleled speed
of Indy air thermocycler allows quick optimization of reaction conditions
and yields more specific product.
Simple Programming
The
128 X 64 backlit screen and keypad layout allows rapid and easy
programming. Even the most complex protocols are simple to program as
operators are guided through a series of user-friendly screens.
Oil Free Operation
The chamber is designed to prevent
sample condensation, thus eliminating the need for the addition of
oil.
