It’s Purpose:

The Eppendorf 6321 Mastercycler PRO Vapo Protect Thermal Cycler is a laboratory instrument used for performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experiments. PCR is a technique used to amplify a small amount of DNA or RNA to generate a larger amount of genetic material that can be analyzed. The Mastercycler PRO Vapo Protect Thermal Cycler uses precise temperature control to repeatedly cycle through three temperature stages: denaturation, annealing, and extension, in order to amplify the target genetic material.

The Vapo Protect technology of the Mastercycler PRO Vapo Protect Thermal Cycler is designed to prevent sample evaporation during thermal cycling, which can lead to variations in sample concentration and suboptimal PCR results. The Vapo Protect technology uses a heated lid to create a humid environment around the samples, which reduces evaporation and ensures more reliable results.

Acme’s Summary:

The Mastercycler PRO Vapo Protect Thermal Cycler is equipped with six independently controlled thermal blocks, allowing for flexible experimental design and optimization. The instrument also features a large, intuitive touch screen interface that enables easy programming and monitoring of experiments, as well as the ability to save and recall frequently used protocols. It is a highly reliable and precise instrument that is widely used in molecular biology and genetics research.
