Adaptive Amplification

Adaptive Amplification is a PCR workflow where cycling is optimized per sample instead of applied uniformly across every well.

What is adaptive amplification?

Conventional thermocyclers run one program for the whole plate, so a fixed cycle count is either too many for concentrated samples or too few for scarce ones. Adaptive amplification treats each well as its own reaction and ends it on its own terms.

iconPCR

iconPCR is the world's first intelligent thermocycler, with individually controlled wells that adjust amplification cycles in real time.

icon96

icon96 is a thermocycler with 96 independently controlled wells and built-in real-time fluorescence detection.

icon16

icon16 is a thermocycler with 16 independently controlled wells and built-in real-time fluorescence detection.

HotScan

HotScan is an iconPCR feature that raises the fluorescence scan temperature of the extension step to 84 °C during AutoNorm monitoring.

AutoNorm

AutoNorm is a closed-loop system that monitors fluorescence in real time and stops cycling at the optimal endpoint for each sample.

Adaptive Amplification

Adaptive Amplification is a PCR workflow where cycling is optimized per sample instead of applied uniformly across every well.
