The Q-Cycler II is a high performance, modular, gradient Thermal Cycler (Thermocycler) . The unit is driven by the latest peltier based thermal engine and a 6.4 inch colour touch screen which provides the largest high resolution touch screen available in this class of thermal cycler.

This model uses USB networking to connect and drive up to three further thermal cyclers creating a mini network with any combination of S line thermal cycler satellites.

All units can concurrently run their own individual protocols and a convenient summary screen shows the thermal cycler run in real time.  Each piece of data is recorded on a unique GLP file.

An intuitive user interface facilitates rapid program creation and execution of even complex protocols including touchdown, time and temperature increments, gradient steps and hot starts.

Four independent thermal engines deliver rapid ramp rates, of up to 3.5°C per second, excellent block uniformity and superior performance including near linear gradients of up to 30 °C. Thermal Blocks can be interchanged in seconds without tools and options include 96 well 0.2ml / microplate; 48 x 0.5ml/ 48 x 0.2ml combi block, a 384 well microplate block for high throughput laboratories and a Microarray/Slide block.

The minimalist design and silent running hides a unit that is packed with power delivering maximum thermal performance and an uncompromising sample uniformity of only +/-0.4°C after 15s at all cycling temperatures.

 A full thermal cycling protocol can be set up on a single screen in seconds. An intelligent program creation wizard will even automatically generate an optimized protocol from primer sequence, amplicon length and origin of the target sequence.

The unit is universal voltage (85V – 275V) and comes with a 2 year warranty as standard and which can be extended on request.
