RapidCycler 2 in conjunction with the HR-1™ Instrument
The RapidCycler 2 in combination with our HR-1 instrument, creates the ideal bench top system for low cost gene scanning and mutation detection. Capillary tubes can be transferred directly from the RapidCycler 2 to the HR-1.
The speed at which the RapidCycler 2 performs is due to the fact that is uses air instead of a metal heat block to heat and cool its samples. Due to the low thermal mass of air, it can be temperature cycled much more quickly than a metal block, yielding shorter cycle times. this allows the RapidCycler to spend less time revamping to its target temperatures and provide greater sample temperature uniformity. In addition to faster cycle times, air thermocycling reduces the amount of non-specific amplified product made.
