 The
Mastercycler 384 is ideal for use in modern high-throughput
labs. Its unique gradient block is designed specifically for
a 384-well microplate, and its programmable gradient function
generates a temperature gradient of up to 20 °C across
the block. When optimizing a PCR protocol, the gradient function
enables rapid testing of different temperatures over 24 rows
during one experiment. Thus, the ideal annealing temperature
is determined rapidly and reliably.
Like its predecessor, the
Eppendorf Mastercycler gradient, the Mastercycler 384 utilizes
Steady Slope and Triple Circuit Technology. Steady Slope ensures
that results from an "optimizing" run are transferred
to a "normal" run with uniform temperature ramping
rates. Triple Circuit Technology provides an additional heating
and cooling zone to ensure precise temperature control for
all gradient profiles.
The optimized geometry
of the thermoblock ensures perfect contact of all 384 tubes
with the metal walls. Defined contact pressure ensures that
the plate remains sealed during the PCR process.
