Product news

Fully automated PCR with INHECO’s brand new On Deck Thermal Cycler ODTC for endpoint PCR: the small thermal cycler can be integrated on the deck of all STAR Line liquid handling platforms such as the Hamilton PCR setup workstation, which allows for fully automated setup and execution of PCR assays without any user interaction.

- From nucleic acid extraction to PCR on one workstation: optionally the whole workflow from nucleic acid extraction to endpoint PCR can be automated e.g. by implementing the PCR setup workstation software (including sample normalization) and the ODTC on other Hamilton STAR Line workstations for nucleic acid extraction such as the chemagic STAR or the Genomic STARlet.
- Cloning, Ligation or primer binding steps that require precise thermal ramping and avoidance of evaporation loss are possible in a fully automated manner

- New PCR setup software for increased user convenience: the new version of the PCR setup workstation software convinces with increased user friendliness and resource saving performance for example with an improved PCR plate designer for quicker and more intuitive assay setup and the new “re-use assay” function for the simple re-use of routine protocols or LIMS integration.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput.
