Cross-sectional view of the LightCycler 480II thermal cycle module. Therma-BaseTM is a cavity with an inner wall covered with a wicked capillary structure to effectively increase the contact surface area. Through a series of real-time condensation and evaporation effects, heat is efficiently transferred to achieve excellent temperature uniformity across the board.

Temperature uniformity of LightCycler 480II at 50 ° C: A is the LightCycler 480 II system; B is another real-time PCR system. A labeled oligonucleotide having a highly reproducible Tm value was used as a test substance for temperature uniformity on a multiwell plate. The expected Tm value of the oligonucleotide is 0, and the difference between the actual measured Tm value and the expected Tm value in all 384 wells is plotted. The data shows that the LightCycler 480II thermal cycle module has a high degree of pore-to-temperature uniformity, compared with The temperature difference between the holes of the ordinary thermal cycle module is large.

LightCycler480II outstanding optical system

Wide-spectrum, high-intensity white solid-state light source, excitation light intensity has many advantages such as energy saving, high efficiency, long life, no maintenance, no pollution, vibration resistance, damage, instant start and fast response.
