Piko® thermal cycling technology
Finnzymes' Piko Thermal Cycler is based around the Piko PCR Plate which is ¼ the size of conventional microplates. This smaller plate format has enabled the design of a PCR instrument with remarkable improvements: the Piko Thermal Cycler is extremely fast, very tiny and highly economical to use. Read more...
Benefits
The Piko Thermal Cycler is an ideal solution for both conventional PCR and High Performance PCR applications. Due to its small size and low power consumption, it is also conveniently portable for field use. Overall, the system is widely adaptable and offers many novel benefits pertinent for today’s molecular laboratories.
- Time savings: fast ramp rates and quick settling times allow for PCR in as little as 10 minutes.
- Reagent savings: repeatable yields from as little as 2 μl when using UTW vessels and Finnzymes’ sealers
- Space savings: the smallest available
- Energy saving: short protocols and low wattage requires only ¼ the power consumption
- Compliant for industrial PCR: The Piko Cycling Systems are manufactured under ISO9001 compliance and are fully licensed for performing PCR
Green PCR
The Piko Thermal Cycler offers both premium performance and savings at the same time. With its low energy and PCR plastic consumption it is also a step to more ecological values in molecular biology: Green PCR. Read more...
