Working Principle

The three-slot gradient PCR instrument utilizes a high-performance semiconductor Peltier element as the heating and cooling core to achieve rapid temperature rise and fall in the sample area by adjusting the current. Each independent sample stage is equipped with multiple temperature sensors for real-time monitoring and feedback of temperature data, and the control system dynamically adjusts the temperature according to the feedback signals to ensure the precise distribution of the gradient temperature. The thermal cover automatically applies uniform pressure through a mechanical lever structure to ensure that the reaction tubes are in close contact with the cover, preventing water evaporation and temperature loss. The touch screen provides intuitive display of program settings and operation status, and records the temperature and operation parameters of the whole process, providing data support for subsequent analysis.

Application Areas

  1. molecular diagnosis and pathogen detection: support multi-sample, multi-gene detection, improve the efficiency of clinical testing.
  2. gene function research: to facilitate parallel screening of multiple conditions, optimize PCR reaction conditions.
  3. transgenic research and agricultural testing: rapid screening of multiple transgenic samples and crop disease diagnosis.
  4. Forensic medicine and paternity testing: simultaneous processing of multiple samples to enhance the efficiency of forensic testing.
  5. education and training: support multi-task teaching experiments to meet the needs of different courses.
  6. Biomedical research and development: drug target verification, multi-parameter gene amplification optimization.
  7. environmental monitoring: multi-sample simultaneous detection of microbial diversity and pollution indicators in the environment.
