CYCLERTEST Thermal Cycler Validation

Ever questioned your reaction results? Not sure why you are getting poor amplification? Could it be the protocol? Could it be your reagents? Could it be the primers? The answer could be your thermal cycler!

Labcare are pleased to offer the most sophisticated and accurate multi-channel "Dynamic" temperature validation service available in the UK.

Using a unique method, CYCLERTEST can perform both static and dynamic testing on virtually every commercially available thermal cycler.

Why should I test my thermal cycler?

With techniques such as PCR^© playing such a major role in our lives, accuracy in thermal equipment is essential. It is Labcare's obligation through Cyclertest to validate thermal equipment to check performance against manufacturers specifications.

A range of tests are available covering basic dynamic tests through to comprehensive tests which include load testing that simulates realistic use and conditions that would be experienced in a research environment.

Testing of Gradients, if available on your thermal cycler can also be included in addition to the range of procedures available. This provides a complete validation of all potential parameters within thermal cycling applications.

Why not contact our Labcare team and request further details of CYCLERTEST?

The PCR©(Polymerase Chain Reaction), process is covered by patents owned by Hoffman-LaRoche Inc.

Rent-A-Cycler
For those labs that require and increase in thermal cycler capacity for short periods, why not rent-a-cycler?

This service offers a "Rental hire" opportunity for MJ research's PTC100's, PTC200's (DNA Engines) and PTC225's (Tetrads). A variety of block options are available on request, with rental periods beginning at four weeks and upwards. Additional discounts are available for longer rentals (24+ weeks)
