Touch Thermal Cycler (Gradient) LTCG-A25

The gradient feature in the Touch Thermal Cycler (Gradient) LTCG-A25 enables simultaneous testing of multiple annealing temperatures in a single run. This accelerates the optimization of PCR conditions by identifying the ideal temperature for primer binding. By reducing trial-and-error steps, it saves time and reagents. The uniform temperature distribution and real-time gradient display ensure accuracy during runs. This feature is particularly beneficial for new primer designs or multiplex PCR assays. Users can easily fine-tune reaction conditions to improve specificity and yield. It enhances reproducibility, especially in research and diagnostic laboratories where precise amplification is critical.

Our Touch Thermal Cycler (Gradient) LTCG-A25 uses advanced semiconductor technology and a multi-channel refrigeration system to maintain uniform heat distribution. It incorporates multiple built-in sensors to continuously monitor and regulate temperature across all 96 wells. With a uniformity of ±0.25°C and accuracy of ±0.20°C, it eliminates edge effects and prevents reaction inconsistencies. This ensures that all samples receive identical thermal conditions, which is critical for achieving reproducible PCR results. The system’s rapid thermal ramping (4.5°C/s heating and 4.0°C/s cooling) also supports time-sensitive applications.

Yes, the Touch Thermal Cycler (Gradient) LTCG-A25 can store over 100 user-defined programs, allowing labs to standardize and streamline workflows. Each program can include up to 30 steps and 99 cycles, accommodating complex PCR processes. This extensive storage capacity is especially beneficial in high-throughput labs or shared environments where multiple users rely on preset protocols. The user-friendly 5-inch touch screen allows quick access, editing, and saving of files. Additionally, the USB port supports easy file backup or transfer between systems, enhancing workflow flexibility and data security.

The Touch Thermal Cycler (Gradient) LTCG-A25 features a 5-inch high-resolution TFT colour touch screen that offers intuitive control and visual feedback. Users can quickly edit, load, or run protocols with just a few taps. The real-time temperature curve display allows continuous monitoring of each phase of the PCR process. Visual indicators show the status of the hot lid, block temperature, and active steps. The interface also includes built-in tools like a gradient calculator for easy experimental planning. These design elements minimize training needs and reduce setup errors in busy labs.

Yes, the Touch Thermal Cycler (Gradient) LTCG-A25 is compatible with standard 0.2 mL tubes, 8-strip tubes, and 96-well PCR plates. Its elastic hot lid adjusts automatically to different tube heights, ensuring consistent pressure and preventing evaporation. The lid temperature is user-adjustable (30°C to 110°C) and can be turned off when working with open reaction vessels. The cycler also offers both tube-based and block-based temperature control modes, providing greater flexibility across diverse PCR formats. These features make it adaptable for routine tests and advanced experiments alike.

Labtron’s Touch Thermal Cycler (Gradient) LTCG-A25 supports multi-user access with login credentials and password protection to prevent unauthorized program modifications. Lab managers can assign user rights and even clear user data when needed. This ensures data integrity, especially in regulated or academic settings. Large data storage and USB-based export options allow seamless sharing and archiving. Program protection and secure file management make it an ideal choice for labs handling sensitive or validated PCR protocols. It’s also easy to maintain a consistent setup across multiple runs.
