Bulletin 6095

The C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler provides superb thermal
performance for fast, reliable results. This fully modular platform
supports interchangeable reaction modules, including two opticalmodules for real-time PCR, that swap in seconds without requiring
tools. Equipped with a large state-of-the-art touch screen, theC1000 Touch Cycler offers a choice of programming methods,
including graphical and automatic (using the protocol autowriter).

Quick and easy protocol programming. The protocol autowriter in thecycler’s onboard software can automatically suggest a fast temperature
protocol based on input parameters. Suggested protocol is based on standard
PCR guidelines, with hot-start, initial denaturation, annealing, and extension
steps. Further reductions of run times are achieved by minimizing the numberof steps and cycles, incubation times, and temperature differentials.

temperature measured by probes in 15 wells across the sample block of aC1000 Touch Thermal Cycler. Traces are nearly indistinguishable due to thetight uniformity. Note the consistent ramp rate throughout heating and cooling.
1000-series Thermal Cyclers exhibit high average ramp rates, rapid settling
time, and tight thermal uniformity throughout the ramp, resulting in rapid arrival
at target temperature and enabling faster protocol run times.
