1.5 Glossary
F
flexlid
The heated lid of the thermal cycler automatically adapts to the used tubes or plates. This always ensures
that a reliable pressure is applied to the thermoblock and that the tubes are sealed securely. Unlike
conventional heated lids, they do not need to be manually adjusted.
T
Thermal Sample Protection
When the heated lid is being heated, the thermoblock is actively maintained at a constant temperature. This
minimizes non-specific annealing and evaporation of the samples.
Triple circuit technology
The thermoblock is controlled by three independent control loops. This is necessary to produce
temperature gradients and leads to improved temperature homogeneity.
