The INHECO ODTC96-6 On-Deck Thermal Cycler is a high-performance, automated thermal cycler designed for seamless integration with robotic liquid handling systems, such as the Beckman Coulter Biomek i7 workstation. Its primary function is to perform rapid and uniform thermal cycling for 96-well PCR plates directly on the automation deck.

This advanced unit leverages patented 3D Vapor Chamber Mount (VCM) technology, which ensures exceptional temperature distribution, rapid heating and cooling, and superior well-to-well uniformity across the entire plate, even with unequally filled wells. The ODTC96-6 features an automated horizontal lid that can open independently from the heating block, allowing for continuous 24/7 operation and enabling pipetting during thermal cycling or incubation steps without affecting thermal performance. Its compact footprint ensures minimal deck space usage, making it an ideal solution for high-throughput automated workflows.

Applications: The ODTC96-6 is versatile and suitable for a wide range of molecular biology applications, including PCR and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) library preparation. It is also used for qPCR experiments, DNA/RNA amplification, high-throughput genetic testing in clinical or research settings, Sanger Sequencing, end-point PCR (e.g., Forensics: STR-Analysis), assays requiring changing temperature profiles, restriction enzyme digestion, incubation with modifying enzymes, and hybridization.
