EZEEcycler GO Thermal Cycler

The EZEEcycler GO Thermal Cycler is an economical gradient thermal cycler designed to provide reliable and flexible performance for everyday PCR applications. It combines an intuitive capacitive touch interface with precise temperature control, gradient functionality, adjustable lid temperature, and programmable PCR protocols.

With a fixed 96-well sample block, the EZEEcycler GO supports regular-profile and low-profile 0.2 mL PCR tubes, tube strips, and 96-well plates. The block provides a temperature range of 4.0°C to 99.9°C, with a maximum heating rate of 3.0°C/sec and maximum cooling rate of 2.0°C/sec.

The integrated gradient function allows researchers to optimize PCR conditions efficiently, while adjustable ramp-rate control provides additional flexibility for protocols requiring controlled temperature transitions.

Technical Specifications

Gradient PCR Optimization

The EZEEcycler GO Thermal Cycler incorporates a built-in gradient function for rapid PCR optimization. The gradient operates horizontally across the block and provides a temperature range of 30–99°C, with a maximum temperature span of 24°C.

This allows researchers to test different annealing or other temperature conditions within the same PCR run, helping optimize experimental protocols more efficiently.

Advanced Temperature Control

The EZEEcycler GO provides adjustable ramp-rate control and slow-ramp temperature functionality. Ramp rates can be controlled down to 0.1°C/sec, providing additional control for sensitive protocols and applications such as CRISPR/Cas workflows.

The heated lid can also be adjusted from 35°C to 120°C, or switched off when required. This flexibility helps accommodate different experimental requirements and can help reduce sample evaporation during thermal cycling.

Easy and Intuitive Operation

The thermal cycler uses a responsive capacitive touch keypad and graphical interface for straightforward PCR protocol setup and operation.

Its dust- and aerosol-resistant keypad can be quickly and safely disinfected, making it suitable for routine laboratory environments.

The system can store up to 200 programmes, while up to 50 registered user folders are available with password protection. This helps laboratories organize protocols for different users and applications.

Applications

The EZEEcycler GO is suitable for a wide range of PCR and molecular biology workflows, including:

• Routine PCR
• PCR assay optimization
• Molecular biology research
• DNA amplification
• Genetic research
• Biotechnology applications
• CRISPR/Cas-related workflows
• NGS pre-treatment protocols
