thermal cyclers made proudly in Japan

High-performing Thermal Cyclers

Gradient Models: G02 and G05
Standard Models: S02 and S05

Renovated and optimized to meet your versatile PCR applications. Compact-sized GeneAtlas Thermal Cyclers are equipped with a large, easy-to-view 5.7-inch TFT LCD touch screen with prominently improved resolution and touch sensitivity. In addition to the traditional table view, programs can be created, edited, or viewed in the graph view.

Precise and Silent

Sample temperature is regulated precisely by a digital PID control with integrated microprocessors. The temperature gradient of up to 30C with 12 step programmable feature. Our High-level aluminum fabrication technique greatly contributes in temperature reproducibility and uniformity. Industry leading noise reduced cooling fan and redesigned ventilation flow path allow multiple units to be placed side-by-side silently.

Interchangeable Sample Holder

The sample holder is built into the lid assembly and interchangeable as a unit of sample holder and lid heating systems. This provides the not only the flexibility of sample size and/or capacity but also the top and bottom heating uniformity matched to that sample capacity.

4 Interchangeable Sample holders are available

The lid is designed to slide over onto the sample holder by moving the handle to the front and to the back, making sure to apply the same amount of pressure on the sample tubes in the holder.
