PCR Machine – Primer Design

Easy extraction from virtually any sample type

The genesig easy DNA/RNA extraction protocol begins with a simple lysis step where cells and tissue are lysed to release their nucleic acid. Then minute magnetic particles are added to bind to RNA/DNA. When placed on to the genesig magnetic separator the particles are pulled to the side of the tube making it easy to remove the unwanted supernatant with a pipette. Then a series of simple wash steps are performed before the DNA/RNA is washed off the beads back in to solution, ready for analysis by real-time PCR. Its fast, and incredibly easy to perform.

Suitable sample types

  • Whole blood
  • Serum
  • Plasma
  • Saliva
  • Sputum
  • Faeces
  • Urine
  • Tissue
  • Food, eg meat, fish or milk.
  • Bacterial culture broth

PCR Machine – Kyratec

The SuperCycler Trinity is a high performance thermal cycling system configured and optimised for industry standard 200ul individual or strip tube (domed or flat-capped) or 96-well plates (low or high skirt) with strip caps or adhesive film seals. It incorporates state of the art electronics, precision quality peltier devices and a flexible user interface.

Interface

The SuperCycler software implements a powerful thermal profile engine. A profile may contain up to 100 events. Each ‘event’ can be either a hold at temperature, pause, ramp or 2 to 5 step cycling with up to 100 repeats. Any event or step can contain gradient*, touchdown or long range features. An almost unlimited number of profiles may be stored on the device for re-running. Despite its high level of capabilities profile setup is straightforward.

  • Live Graphing
  • Manual Control
  • Auto Restart
  • Quickstart Wizard
  • USB Connectivity
  • User Accounts
  • Pause
  • Long Range
  • Touch Down/Up
  • On Screen Help
  • Run Reporting
