The SuperCycler from Kyratec is a high-performance rapid PCR Machine, with 96-well block, suitable for standard 0.2 µL tubes, strips or plates from most manufacturers. 5°C/sec heating performance make this device one of the fastest PCR Machines on the market. Further, the SuperCycler encorporates state-of-the-art electronics in the form of precision peltiers, and a flexible, vivid android touchscreen interface, available in two models.
The Trinity Triple-zone model allows the user to set up to three independent pcr annealing temperatures during a single run, thus a perfect solution for labs running smaller numbers of samples but frequent runs—essentially 3 machines in one!The Gradient model allows the user to programme a linear gradient across all 12 columns, providing maximum evaluation of ideal annealing temperatures.
In a market flooded with similar PCR cyclers, one of the best ways to differentiate a machine is by the user interface. Kryatec’s design engineers have placed strong emphasis on this aspect when creating the SuperCycler.Not only does this machine perform exceptionally but our customers actually enjoy using it.
Needless to say, the SuperCycler is being well received in the international biosciences market.We’re confident that the Supercycler gives the customer great value for money in terms of performance, functionality, features, usability and reliability. With TWO year warranty and inexpensive extended warranty, one can have confidence in many years of SuperCycler use.
Product Features
The SuperCycler Trinity is a high performance block cycling system configured and optimised for Industry standard 200 µL individual or strip tubes (domed or flat-capped) or 96-well plates (low or high skirt) with strip caps or adhesive film seals. Boasting a large 7 inch colour touch screen the SuperCycler offers the most vibrant and flexible user interface of any standard block cycler on the market. Configuration and profile setup is now easy and intuitive and temperatures are vividly displayed in real time during the run. Exceptional performance, unparalleled user interface and highly competitive price is fast winning the SuperCycler Trinity winning market popularity!
Trinity Series Powerful Thermal Engine
At the heart of the Trinity series instrument lies 3 fully independant sets of peltiers, temperature sensors and control electronics. This powerful and reliable thermal engine is capable of delivering high ramp rates in excess of 5C per second with our standard low thermal mass composite alloy block whilst maintaining a long peltier life and low well to well variation.
Two configuration PCR systems are available:
Gradient*: Up to 24 °C thermal gradient across the block width.
TripleZone: Three physically independant blocks providing multiple temperature areas with minimal thermal interference between the zones in a standard 96 well plate format.
Heated Lid Evaporation Control
With a pressurised, heated lid design, air contained within tubes is hotter than the reaction volume. In turn, this causes any evaporation to condense back into the cooler reaction liquid.The heated lid design eliminates the need for an oil or wax condensation overlay.
Compact Footprint
Boasting a footprint of only 18 × 28.5 × 19cm (W × D × H), the SuperCycler Trinity is designed to save valuable benchspace within the laboratory.Weighing in at just 5.5kg, this machine is also highly portable for the ever-changing laboratory environment.
Touch Screen
A large, 7 inch, vivid color touch screen display allows for easy viewing of run monitoring and controls at your tip of your finger or stylus.
USB Port
A handy USB port allows for fast, easy file transfer, and also facilitates the direct use of a keyboard and mouse with the unit.
Live Temperature Graphing
So you can see, rather than guess, what’s going on under the lid.
Exceptional PCR Performance
Every time. No exceptions.
Software Upgrades
Free software upgrades for the life time of the product are available for all customers via our website. For full features and specifications please check out the SuperCycler brochure. To get a feel for the software capabilities and visit Kryatec’s SuperCycler Software Walkthrough presentation.
