NextGenPCR™ 2 minute PCR

We can’t meet the speed of light. But we can do really fast PCR!

NextGenPCR™ thermal cyclers enable ultrafast PCR, up to 30 runs per hour, with accurate temperature control. Therefore NextGenPCR™ thermal cyclers use far less energy. NextGenPCR™ ultrafast thermal cyclers accept 96-well plates as well as 384-well plates seamlessly.

The NextGenPCR™ Thermal Cycler is an accurate and energy-efficient thermal cycler designed for ultra-fast PCR. Our patented NextGenPCR™ technology eliminates temperature ramping times by moving samples between three heating zones, each corresponding to a different temperature. As a result, the NextGenPCR™ Thermal Cycler significantly reduces the duration of PCR runs compared to conventional Peltier-based thermal cyclers, which rely on continuously heating and cooling a single heating block. In addition to shorter PCR runs, the three constant heating zones contribute to considerably reduced power consumption compared to Peltier-based thermal cyclers.

The NextGenPCR™ must be used with specially designed NextGenPCR™ Microplates made of ultra-thin polypropylene. The flexible nature of these microplates allows them to be compressed between the two heating blocks of each heating zone, resulting in instant heat transfer and sample mixing. The NextGenPCR™ Microplates are currently available in 96×20 µL and 384×5 µL formats, or customizable to your preference (inquire).

 

Product highlights of NextGenPCR™

  • Ultra Fast: From hours to minutes
  • High throughput
  • Use any assay
  • Minimal footprint  – low energy, maximum output
  • Space efficient – (width <20 cm)
  • Fully compatible with standard assays


By using our patented heat transfer technology in our ultra fast PCR thermal cycler, we have been able to improve PCR speed several ten-fold.
 Together with other improvements, such as ease of use, footprint, energy consumption, the change is of such a scale, that we named it NextGenPCR™, the fastest PCR thermal cycler available worldwide!

With the ultra fast PCR machine by NextGenPCR™, ramp rates of over 1000°C per second a sample goes from denaturing to annealing in less tan 0.1 second. Total PCR time ranges from 2 to 10 minutes for 30 cycles over 3 temperatures.

Multiply your workflow with the ultra fast PCR thermal cycler

The extreme speed of NextGenPCR™ ultra fast PRC thermal cyclers makes them very wanted in applications such as nanopore sequencing, (an example can be found here) detection of infectious diseases as SARS-CoV-2 (Publication), Variant identification, Illumina sequencing, and Sanger sequencing. The above includes PCR library prep, SARS-CoV-2 variant identification, and fluorescence probe-based screening.

The ultra fast PCR thermal cycler is also a much greener solution, using plates that are 3.9 times lighter, which means using less polypropylene and up to 50 times less energy per PCR reaction. The latter means the lab uses less energy to cool the room. Taken together this leads to an energy efficiency that is well over 50 times better comparing to standard thermal cyclers.
