Primary Function: The Inheco ODTC384-4 is an advanced on-deck thermal cycler designed for rapid and uniform thermal cycling of 384-well PCR plates, seamlessly integrating into automated laboratory workflows.
Key Features & Technology:
- Features patented Vapor Chamber Mount (VCM) technology, a unique 3D heat pipe system that ensures superior well-to-well temperature uniformity and rapid heating/cooling, critical for consistent results in high-throughput applications.
- Designed for direct integration onto liquid handling systems, allowing for continuous 24/7 automated operation without manual plate transfer.
- Equipped with a horizontal-opening heated lid that can be operated independently from the heating block, enabling pipetting or other interventions during thermal cycling with minimal temperature disruption.
- Controlled by sophisticated automation software such as Thermo Scientific Momentum, and features a SiLA-compliant interface for broad compatibility with various lab automation platforms.
- Integrated within high-throughput experimentation workstations, such as the inSPIRE workstation, alongside instruments like the Echo 550, Mantis, ViiA 7 RT-PCR, ODTC96, Fragment Analyzer Infinity, ALPS 3000, HiG 3, and XPeel.
Applications: Ideal for a wide range of molecular biology applications including high-throughput PCR amplification, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) library preparation, human diagnostics, and other molecular biological routines requiring precise and rapid temperature control.
