Primary Function: The Inheco ODTC384-5 is an advanced on-deck thermal cycler engineered for rapid and uniform thermal cycling of 384-well PCR plates, making it ideal for high-throughput experimentation.
Key Features:
- Utilizes patented Vapor Chamber Mount (VCM) technology, ensuring precise heating and cooling with near-instantaneous transitions and exceptional temperature uniformity across the entire plate, even with unequally filled wells.
- Features a horizontal-opening heated lid that can be automatically opened during a run with negligible temperature impact, facilitating continuous 24/7 automated operations without supervision.
- Designed for minimal deck space, occupying a footprint equivalent to approximately two standard microplates (124 mm H x 157 mm W x 248 mm L).
- Offers flexible positioning with various ventilation configurations.
- Equipped with a SiLA-compliant interface for seamless integration into automated workflows and robotic deck systems.
- Compatible with standard 384-well PCR plates, including full- or semi-skirted low profile types such as Bio-Rad Hard-Shell HSP-3xxx, 4titude FrameStar 384, and Hamilton FramePlate 814305.
- Integrated with the inSPIRE workstation, which also includes the Echo 550, Mantis, ViiA 7 RT-PCR, ODTC96, Fragment Analyzer Infinity, ALPS 3000, HiG 3, and XPeel for comprehensive high-throughput capabilities.
Applications: Primarily used for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) applications, including gene sequence amplification.
