The SuperCyclerTM
Kyratec Pty. Ltd. www.kyratec.com
A precision composite alloy block with low mass and high thermal conductivity gives good ramp rates, long peltier life and low well to well temperature variation.
SuperCycler’s 8 peltier with 4 independent controllers and feedback sensors allows for high thermal uniformity and linear gradient ability.
Many competing machines have fewer active zones leading to inferior performance.
Optimised pressure heated lidThe SuperCycler has optimised the automatic lid pressure to suit the standard tubes and plates which will be used in these kind of machines meaning that you don’t need to make any adjustments!
