Alat laboratorium Thermal Cycler
Alat laboratorium Thermal Cycler (juga dikenal sebagai thermocycler, mesin PCR atau amplifier DNA) adalah peralatan laboratorium yang paling umum digunakan untuk memperbanyak segmen DNA melalui polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Thermal Cycler juga dapat digunakan di laboratorium untuk memfasilitasi reaksi lain yang membutuhkan reaksi yang sensitif terhadap suhu, termasuk reaksi enzim restriksi atau diagnosa yang cepat. Perangkat ini dilengkapi dengan blok termal dengan lubang yang dapat menampung tabung reaksi (tube) dimana yang menampung reagensia. Thermal Cycler kemudian mengontrol suhu, naik dan turun sesuai dengan program yang dimasukan kedalam komputer PCR tersebut, sehingga proses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) terjadi.
Major Science Thermal Cycler (PCR) merupakan salah satu PCR yang dapat diandalkan dengan kemampuan yang melakukan proses reverse transcriptase. untuk mengetahui secara rinci spesifikasi Major Science Thermal Cycler (PCR), ada dibawah ini:
Major Science Thermal Cycler (PCR) Specification
Major Cycler is an automated instrument designed for application in Hot Start thermal cycling reactions. Also major Cycler contains a RT program function, it is simple and convenient to run one-step RT by combining the RT program with a stored amplification reaction. Another feature of Major Cycler is the flexible program editing, which allows researchers to set up an amplification program containing different temperature ramping conditions within individual loops. Major Cycler also offers the flexibility to create an advanced amplification program which could increase/decrease temperatures and hold time for an assigned step from cycle to cycle. The small size and competitive pricing make it suitable for a personal instrument ownership.
