Accurate tempering of probes leads to better hybridisation results and enhanced reproducibility; these units are Peltier driven and fully programmable, having five program memory capacity
The hybridisation system HC4 plus is described as the universal tool for a homogeneous hybridisation of microarrays and cell slides.
Based on the HC4 hybridisation chamber, a programmable cooling and heating (-5 to +100C) of the samples is achieved on the slide by the ThermoStar 100 thermostat.
The accurate tempering of probes leads to better hybridisation results and enhanced reproducibility, says the company.
The HC4 professional hybridisation system is the professional instrument for a homogeneous hybridisation up to four microarrays or cell slides and increased reproducibility of hybridisation results.
Basing on the HC4, a vigorous shaking, heating and cooling of the samples is achieved on the slides by the ThermoTwister comfort.
For better results in hybridisation and enhanced reproducibility, an active agitation of probes is achieved by the ThermoTwister.
Agitation may be varied in a range from 200 to 1000rpm.
The units are Peltier driven and fully programmable, having five program memory capacity and have a backlit two-line alphanumeric display.
Both models can be used to run temperature/time profiles over a long period.
With a wide range of additional blocks for tubes, well plates and vials both systems are suitable for a number of shaking and heating applications, in many scientific fields including molecular biology, cytochemistry, biochemistry and molecular chemistry.
Supported by the UL, CSA, and CE compliant mark and a one-year guarantee, it can be purchased worldwide through an extensive network of approved laboratory equipment distributors and direct by Quantifoil Instruments.
