SuperCycler
...a brief overview
In a market flooded with similar
PCR cyclers, one of the best ways
to differentiate a machine is by
the user interface. Our design
engineers have placed strong
emphasis on this aspect when
creating the SuperCycler.
Not only does this machine
perform exceptionally but our
customers actually enjoy using it.
Needless to say, the SuperCycler
is being well received in the
international biosciences
market.
Its stylish compact design, vivid
colour touch screen, user
friendly, intuitive software
features and attractive graphical
interface brings new life to PCR
technology.
We’re confident that the
SuperCycler gives the customer
great value for money in terms
of performance, functionality,
features, usability and reliability.

Our extensive market research,
customer and distributor
feedback tells us that ultimately,
the customer purchase decision
is weighed heavily by two major
factors – price, and the features
available for the price.
Some companies might struggle
to provide both but here at
Kyratec, ‘bang for your buck’ is
exactly what our design
engineers have focused on when
creating the SuperCycler.

...let’s look closer
Linearised Gradient*
A precision composite alloy block
with low mass and high thermal
conductivity provides excellent
ramp rates, long peltier life and
low well to well temperature
variation.
8 peltiers, 4 independent
controllers and feedback sensors
allows for high thermal uniformity
and linear gradient* ability.

Features
...let’s look closer
Heated Lid Evaporation Control
With a pressurised, heated lid
design, air contained within
tubes is hotter than the reaction
volume.
In turn, this causes any
evaporation to condense back
into the cooler reaction liquid.
The heated lid design eliminates
the need for an oil or wax
condensation overlay.

Compact Footprint
Touch Screen
Boasting a footprint of only
18x28.5x19cm (WxDxH), the
SuperCycler is designed to save
valuable bench space within the
laboratory.
A large, 7 inch, vivid color touch
screen display allows for easy
viewing of run monitoring and
controls at your tip of your finger
or stylus.
Weighing in at just 5.5kg, this
machine is also highly portable for
the ever-changing laboratory
environment.
USB Port
A handy USB port allows for fast,
easy file transfer, and also
facilitates the direct use of a
keyboard and mouse with the unit.

Testimonials
...what some of our customers think
"The SuperCycler's intuitive software
and touch screen interface makes
programming extremely simple. The
instrument is a high-quality, cost
effective solution for all labs
performing conventional PCR.“
"The SuperCycler is undoubtedly the
best choice for my Chilean customers.
It is not just a gradient thermal cycler,
but also has the best thermal control,
interface and size, all complemented by
the best available price on the market.
Some customers already know it and
they love it.“
"We do really like the instrument. We
have now tested in our service lab for
about 2-3 months and obtained really
confidence in the machine. It performs
similar as the PE counter part."
