Product information

PCR Optimization with Gradient Function for Molecular Biology Research

The SensoQuest Labcycler Gradient is designed for precise PCR optimization in molecular biology. Thanks to the integrated gradient function with up to 24 zones, research laboratories can efficiently determine the ideal annealing temperature. The flexible quick block-exchange system allows the use of various thermoblocks from 48 to 384 wells, making the device ideally suited for varying sample volumes and high-throughput PCRs in institutes and diagnostic laboratories.

Technically, the device impresses with a ramp rate of up to 5.0 °C/s. With a maximum power consumption of only 350 W and quiet operating noise from 38 dBA, it is particularly resource-efficient. The programmable heated lid with up to 120 N contact pressure and the TFT touchscreen ensure intuitive control and process-reliable results up to 110 °C.

This model offers maximum flexibility through interchangeable blocks and a durable construction with a 5-year warranty. Request a quote now and optimize your PCR processes! Contact us

Frequently Asked Questions About This Model

What is the Labcycler Gradient primarily used for?

The device is used for performing polymerase chain reactions (PCR), with the integrated gradient function of 8 to 24 zones specifically used to determine the optimal annealing temperature for new primer pairs.

Which thermal performance data are decisive for PCR?

The cycler offers a ramp rate of 0.01 °C/s to 5.0 °C/s and high temperature homogeneity of ± 0.25 °C at 55 °C, enabling reproducible results across the entire block.

Which laboratories and applications is the system suitable for?

Thanks to the quick block-exchange system for 48-, 96-, and 384-well blocks, the device is suitable for research facilities with frequently changing throughput requirements and various sample vessels such as 0.2 ml tubes or PCR plates.

What operational and maintenance requirements does the device have?

The Labcycler is highly energy-efficient, with a typical consumption of 150 W during a PCR run. It requires no manual mains voltage switching (85 V to 265 V) and is supplied with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.


Technical data & description

Temperature gradients from 8 to 24 zones can be performed to determine the optimal annealing temperature. The thermal blocks 96 and 384 enable high-throughput PCR. The triple block can also be used in the Labcycler Gradient, however without the gradient function.
