T-CY or EPS 600 Creacon
T-CY
Creacon Technologies offers an easy to use, high specification Thermal Cycler at an affordable price. By using the latest developments in solid-state Peltier technology, a Thermal Cycler has been designed to provide powerful ramp rates in combination with accurate temperature and block uniformity.
And that's not all... The T-CY offers also a large graphical display, user friendly software, robust design and small bench space. The T-CYwill meet your needs for a reliable, easy-to-use, fast, accurate and programmable Thermal Cycler. What more can you ask for!
Models
The T-CY can be delivered in two different block formats. The 96 position sample block for use with 0.2 ml sample tubes and the 60 position sample block for use with 0.5 ml sample tubes. The 96 sample block has the 9 mm spacing micro plate format making the T-CY suitable for high throughput laboratories. The individual sample block holes have been designed in such a way to give excellent contact between the block surface and sample tube, ensuring a high degree of temperature consistence within the sample. All models are supplied with an easy to open gas spring supported lid.
Heated Lid
The heated lid has a flush fitting enclosure to ensure a complete seal eliminating airflow across the sample block surface. This means that the temperature control is maintained regardless of environmental conditions. The in-lid surface is spring-mounted to ensure even contact and pressure on all vials regardless of the tube height, ensuring no condensation of water vapor on the tube lids. A specially designed, microprocessor controlled heating element compensates temperature fluctuations along the lid.
Software The layering of menus allows the operator to quickly select, view and start pre-entered programs. Each program can be displayed in full so that all parameters can be verified before commencing a program run. |
All programs can be protected from alteration by the use of a PIN-code. Incremented and decremented temperatures and times can be included to allow changes in cycle parameters, useful in protocols that utilize variable temperature settings. |
Peltier temperature control
The temperature control is driven using solid-state Peltier technology giving control and power superior to other methods. The use of high power Peltiers allows temperature ramp rates up to 4 °C per second resulting in faster runs and overall shorter program times. This allows a greater number of runs to be completed in a single day increasing the work capacity of the instrument for laboratories with a high number of samples.
