Automated Thermal Cycler (ATC)

Easy Integration with a Robotic Platform

• Flexible modular design saves space on deck
• Easy-to-install software solutions for robotic integration: SiLA Rapid Integration™ standard*–compatible software and prewritten application programming interfaces (APIs)
• Free software for stand-alone operation allows assay optimization before integration

Automated Thermal Cycler Features

• Automated lid for hands-free operation with a liquid handler or plate stacker
• Heated cover slides forward to cover the plate nest, enabling thermal contact and minimizing evaporation
• Automated plate ejectors help ensure consistent plate positioning for half-skirted or fully-skirted 96-well plates

Thermal Cycler Software

• Integration compatible SiLA fast integration scripting language for maximum flexibility when integrating into your robotics platform
• Direct software allows you to run your Automated Thermal Cycler before setting up your robot. This allows you to optimize your assays even before robotic integration if desired.

Use the ATC as a Stand-alone PCR Thermal Cycler

Flexible software can easily be connected to your robot’s software interface or be used to control the ATC as a stand-alone instrument. Test your instrument using the ATC desktop application before integrating it into your robotic automation system (Figures 1 and 2).

Space-Saving Design with Small Thermal Cycler Footprint

• Flexible modular design helps save space on a robotic deck
• Separate control panel module and block module can be stacked or separated to fit available deck or bench space
• Choice of 10 cm, 1 m, and 3 m cables accommodates variable locations for the control module under the thermal cycler, under the deck, or up to 3 m away from the unit
