Designed for laboratories requiring dependable, scalable PCR performance, the GeneCycler combines robust engineering, comprehensive support, and lower lifetime operating costs to deliver long-term value for demanding PCR workflows.
This automated high-throughput water-bath PCR thermal cycler is engineered for large-scale PCR laboratories requiring maximum capacity and efficiency. Designed for ultra-high-throughput workflows, it enables simultaneous processing of up to 40 × 384-well plates per run.
Featuring three independent water baths with integrated circulation, the HyperCycler delivers precise, uniform temperature control across every plate while supporting two-step, three-step, and Touchdown PCR protocols. Its flexible basket system allows laboratories to scale plate numbers according to demand.
Using advanced water-based heat transfer technology, the HyperCycler eliminates conventional ramp delays during cycling, significantly reducing reaction times while achieving exceptional energy efficiency compared to traditional metal block systems.
Built for sustained high-volume operation, it combines industrial-scale throughput, reproducibility, and long-term operational efficiency for demanding PCR environments.
GeneCycler runs up to 20 low-profile 384-well plates or 16 standard 384/1536-well plates per run. HyperCycler processes up to 40 × 384-well plates in a single run for ultra-high-throughput PCR labs.
Advanced water-based heat transfer technology reduces energy consumption by up to 90% compared to Peltier PCR blocks. Even at full capacity, the HyperCycler maintains high efficiency, lowering operational costs and environmental impact.
Three independent circulating water baths ensure uniform temperature distribution and reliable PCR results across large plate volumes.
Automated tank filling, emptying, and scheduled pre-heating or shutdown simplify daily operation while improving reliability and laboratory workflow efficiency.
A zero-maintenance basket system with no moving parts ensures durability and reliability. The intuitive touchscreen interface allows quick setup and easy operation.
Both instruments are compatible with high-precision PCR microplates, enabling rapid, uniform heat transfer and precise temperature control for a wide range of high-throughput PCR applications.
The GeneCycler is a next-generation PCR thermal cycler engineered to maximize throughput, precision, and sustainability. Designed for demanding workflows, it can cycle up to 25 low-profile 384-well PCR plates or 20 standard 384-well or 1536-well plates in a single run, making it ideal for high-throughput molecular applications. Its support for 384- and 1536-well plate formats makes the GeneCycler well suited for assay miniaturisation strategies that reduce reaction volumes while increasing data output. Three individually temperature-controlled water baths (40 °C–98 °C) with ±0.1 °C accuracy ensure highly reliable and reproducible PCR thermal cycling results.Â
An intuitive touchscreen interface simplifies protocol creation, editing, and real-time monitoring, while the system’s preheating function and flexible cycling modes, including standard and touchdown PCR support diverse research needs. Compared to conventional Peltier-based instruments, the GeneCycler reduces energy consumption by up to 80%, cutting operational costs while promoting sustainable lab practices. By combining advanced thermal control, exceptional capacity, and user-friendly design, this thermal cycler for PCR delivers unmatched efficiency and value.Â

Low-volume, slim-profile PCR plates offering excellent thermal uniformity and precision for high-throughput PCR workflows.
Rigid, fully-skirted 384-well PCR plate ensuring excellent stability and uniform heating through every thermal cycle.
Secure, airtight PCR sealing film prevents evaporation and contamination during thermal cycling for reliable results.
Unlike traditional Peltier-based PCR thermal cyclers, which typically process one plate per run, the GeneCycler can cycle up to 20–25 plates at once, significantly increasing throughput. It also offers quicker cycling times, more accurate temperature management, and consumes up to 80% less energy, reducing operational costs.
The GeneCycler supports a variety of PCR plate formats, including:
• Low-profile 384-well PCR plates (up to 25 per run).
• Standard 384-well and 1536-well PCR plates (up to 20 per run).
The instrument supports both standard PCR and touchdown PCR, offering flexibility for different experimental needs. It also features a preheating function for optimized start-up efficiency.
With its improved heating design, the GeneCycler consumes up to 80% less energy than standard Peltier block PCR systems. This not only lowers energy costs but also enhances sustainability without compromising performance.
The system features three independently controlled water baths with a temperature range of 40°C–98°C and an accuracy of ±0.1°C, ensuring highly reproducible results across all wells.
