The PCRmax Alpha Cyclers are developed to deliver not only the best quality data you can expect from a thermal cycler but also to innovate and exceed the high standards expected by the community. 

The single block Alpha Cycler 1 (AC-1) is a compact and feature driven entry level PCR machine with ease of use and performance at its core.

Program Wizard
All Alpha Cycler systems also contain a novel Program Wizard which allows users to automatically optimize a PCR protocol. Let the Alpha Cycler's Program Wizard optimize your reaction for you, simply:

• Input the forward and reverse primer sequences, define the amplicon length and source of the template and the built-in and validated algorithms will define a bespoke protocol for your target.
• Program Wizard allows for high specificity touch down PCR and will accommodate for GC/AT imbalances in your target sequence to get optimal Tms and hold times.

Program Storage
Set the Alpha Cycler to display Favorite, Most Frequent or Most Recently used programs on the home screen for easy and fast access. No need at all to access the system's memory or hunt though files, just select, confirm and run.

Software
All Alpha Cyders are driven by the same software allowing for simple use and transition between instruments for both users and protocols. The intuitive Android interface makes the system easy to use with minimal to no training. Alpha Cycler software is clear and simple to follow.

Remote Monitoring via Alpha Track App
Users can scan the displayed QR code to allow them to remotely check on run status and the health of the system, to give confidence in the system's continued performance. Alpha Track will:

• Start a countdown clock of all running blocks on the unit.
• Allow users to specify alarm notifications for system finish.
• Check on the progress of runs.
• Send health reports to have the system checked for any errors or deviations from system performance.

System Health Checks
Each QR code scanned with Alpha Track contains a health check on the system. This report can be sent to service teams who can diagnose any issues with any system anywhere in the world and report back to the individual any issues the system may be having. It's like a service visit every time the system is run.

USB Logins
Users can make any USB device their own login key. This means users don't need to remember passwords for each system, they simply insert the USB key to login which:

• Sets all defaults to the user's specific settings.
• Allows access to logged in user programs.
• Protects programs from being accessed by any other user.
• Allows users to use multiple systems in different locations like their own unit. Simply remove the USB and the user is logged out and their programs are not displayed on the system.
