Why use a thermal cycler?
Labs use a thermal cycler (or thermocycler, PCR machine, DNA amplifier) to put samples though repeated cycles of two temperature extremes. It is frequently used to amplify segments of DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Thermal cyclers are also used in laboratories to enable other temperature-sensitive reactions, including restriction enzyme digestion and rapid diagnostics.It works by precisely raising and lowering the temperature of its thermal block. Samples (in tubes) sit in wells in the block and are heated and cooled by the block.
What to look for in a thermal cycler
For PCR and other uses, the thermal cycler must be able to deliver exactly the same changes in temperature for every sample in a run, and for every run.
- Temperature uniformity - delivering identical temperature across the entire block, with identical results for samples in the middle or on the edge of the block, and throughout the run.
- Temperature accuracy - ensuring accurate and stable, reproduceable temperatures for the duration of the run, and for every sample in the block.
- Uniformity and accuracy during open-drawer operations - enabling pipetting and enzyme introductions whenever needed, with negligible effect.
- Rapid uniform temperature change (ramp rates) - reaching required temperatures as rapidly as possible whilst maintaining temperature uniformity across the entire block.
- Sample integrity and contaminant reduction - by enclosing and sealing the batch during the run.
- Minimized start-up and boot times - combined with rapid ramp rates so laboratories can complete significantly more batches per day.
- Small footprint - delivering the required performance while taking up as little space in the workflow as possible.
- Flexible positioning - with few, if any, restrictions on placement due to the thermal cycler’s air venting or obstruction of the workflow arm.
Use of the Inheco ODTC® thermal cycler
The ODTC® is used in the PCR process (polymerase chain reaction), to amplify a gene sequence in a sample. The amplification follows an exponential curve, so that after several temperature cycles several million replicates are present in the sample. This high number is required for various detection methods, as the sensors of the measurement/detection systems only respond when there is sufficient signal-to-noise rate.The ODTC® is also used for NGS (Next Generation Sequencing). The reading of the gene segment, i.e., the sequence in which the base pairs (ATGC) occur, is carried out by the sequencer, but in order for this to be able to process the sample, it’s necessary to prepare (or enrich) a sample of the gene segment using PCR.
The ODTC® is ideal for gene analysis. As gene analysis is used in more diagnostic procedures as well as in research work it requires automation, and the ODTC® is optimized for use in highly automated environments.
