Omscientia to Offer the New Kyratec SuperCycler for PCR and becomes the North American Distributor for Kyratec

”We are excited to be Kyratec’s distributor and to have an opportunity to bring these amazing instruments to the market in North America,” comments Craig Sterling, CEO of Omscientia, Inc. “Kyratec is a truly innovative company with an excellent engineering and manufacturing team. Their instruments are incredibly easy-to-use, reliable, and require almost no programming. The instruments have features not found on other instruments in the market-segment, and certainly not for the price. With today’s labs being more budget conscious than ever, we feel that labs should not have to forego features, reliability or performance in order to obtain the latest technologies.”

Omscientia and Kyratec are both excited about the new agreement and are looking forward to the opportunity to bring these cutting edge instruments in to the North American markets. “The market has responded quickly, and with much interest in the new SuperCycler, launched at the American Crystallographic Association conference in Chicago last month,” Mr. Sterling further noted. The new Kyratec SuperCycler is available to labs immediately and can be purchased through Omscientia.

2010 ACA Meeting in Chicago

• Kyratec's USA distributor, Omscientia, attended the 2010 ACA Meeting in Chicago.

Testing on SuperCycler performance (ABI)

• SuperCycler test result compared with ABI

+ = same peaks patron as ABI (no noise)
+/- = same peaks patron as ABI, but incl. little noise in the start!
</>##s = less or more signal then ABI
~##% = different precentage then ABI

Conclusion:
No major difference found, comparing with the ABI. All thermocycler sets for SBT technic can be used with Kyratec!

Testing on SuperCycler performance (Biometra)

• SuperCycler test result compared with Biometra.

Consistency:


1. Amplification of M13 MCS region of pTZ57R at Ta of 52°C on 12 tubes which placed at random location of the 96-well block of SuperCycler. The same PCR reaction mixture was amplified concurrently at 3 units of Biometra Tpersonal PCR machine as control.

Gradient PCR:

1. Amplification of M13 MCS region of pTZ57R (1.5kb) on 12 tubes which placed in a row of the 96-well block of SuperCycler. The same PCR reaction mixture was amplified concurrently at 3 units of Biometra Tpersonal PCR machine at different annealing temperature as control.
