MyCycler™ THERMAL CYCLER SOLE SOURCE SPECIFICATIONS

The MyCycler Thermal Cycler sets the standard for the personal cycler market with this
comprehensive package of features:

¾ Exceptionally Large 4.7” (12 cm) Display with ¼ VGA Resolution

Significance: The large display allows the researcher to view graph of the
protocol for editing and running. New users can begin programming immediately
by using logical software with ready-made protocol templates.

¾ Programmable Power-Saving Auto-Standby Option

Significance: Auto-Standby option enables you to save power when the
instrument is idle for a programmable period of time. It is no longer necessary to
turn off the instrument manually with this feature.

¾ USB Communication/ Future Daisy Chain Capability

Significance: USB communications ensures compatibility with today’s advanced
computers and future communications. USB communications allows multiple
personal cyclers to be controlled from a single computer
