The PCRmax Alpha cyclers are developed to deliver not only the best quality data you can expect from PCRmax but also to innovate and exceed the high standards expected by the community.
Alpha Cycler software has features such as recently used programmes; allowing users to quickly access their most commonly used protocols without the need to navigate through folders to find it, individual user logins; with protected protocols as-well-as allowing users’ access to temperature logs after each run to monitor the state of the system.
The Alpha Cycler systems also contain a novel programme wizard which allows users to define a protocol based specifically off their primer sequence and template source. Primer sequences or Tms are inputted, amplicon length and source defined and the on board algorithm generates an optimised protocol for your assay.

Alpha Cycler 1 (AC-1)
The single block Alpha Cycler 1 (AC-1) is a compact and feature driven entry level PCR machine with ease of use and performance at its core. Alpha Cycler software has features such as recently used Programs; allowing users to quickly access their most commonly used protocols without the need to navigate through folders to find it, individual user logins; with protected protocols as-well-as allowing users’ access to temperature logs after each run to monitor the state of the system.
Key Features:
- Compatibility with Alpha Track Mobile reporting App.
- Active Sample cooling - For sharper amplification and minimal non-specific amplification.
- Program Wizard - Generate a protocol specific to your sequence, template source and amplicon length in seconds.
- 96/384 well gradient blocks - Flexibility for any scale and user needs.
- USB connectivity and login/out function – Login and out to any system with it automatically configured to your defaults.
- Android driven 7” tablet interface – HD screen with excellent response.
Alpha Cycler 2 (AC-2)
The Alpha Cycler 2 (AC-2) dual block system allows multiuser labs which don't usually have the throughput or demand for a four block system, access to multi-block flexibility or an option to scale up from single block systems as and when the project work load requires it. The AC-2 is a truly independent two block system capable of running totally different programs on each block simultaneously giving end users two separate PCR systems in one unit.
Key Features:
- Compatibility with Alpha Track Mobile reporting App.
- Independent dual block system – allows for two different programs to run simultaneously.
- Active Sample cooling - For sharper amplification and minimal non-specific amplification.
- Program Wizard - Generate a protocol specific to your sequence, template source and amplicon length in seconds.
- 96/384 well gradient blocks - Flexibility for any scale and user needs.
- USB connectivity and login/out function – Login and out to any system with it automatically configured to your defaults.
- Android driven 10” tablet interface – HD screen with excellent response.
Alpha Cycler 4 (AC-4)
The Alpha Cycler 4 (AC-4) is the only true fully independently controllable four block thermal cycler available today. The system can be specified in any combination of 96 and 384 well formats across its four bays. Alpha Cycler software allows the user to quickly access their most commonly used protocols without the need to navigate through folders to find it, individual user logins; with protected protocols aswell-as allowing users’ access to temperature logs after each run to monitor the state of the system.
Key Features:
- Compatibility with Alpha Track Mobile reporting App.
- Scalable - Chose from any combination of 96 or 384 well blocks.
- Compact - Small labspace footprint, condenses four truly independent blocks into one unit with no network / connectivity issues.
- Active Sample cooling - For sharper amplification and minimal non-specific amplification.
- Program Wizard - Generate a protocol specific to your sequence, template source and amplicon length in seconds .
- 96/384 well gradient blocks - Flexibility for any scale and user needs.
- Report generated on run conditions and state following completion of protocol.
- USB connectivity and login/out function – Login and out to any system with it automatically configured to your defaults.
- Android driven 10” tablet interface - HD screen with excellent response.
*Offer valid until 30th September 2017 or while stocks last. Valid for any auto-cycler: AC1 = 1 plate or AC2 = 2 plates or AC4 = 4 plates.
