Online Thermoelectric Modelling Tool for PCR Design Engineers


Laird Thermal Systems has launched an online simulation tool for PCR thermal cycling applications. Thermoelectric coolers produced for thermal cycling, such as the PowerCycling PCX Series, are utilised for Real-Time PCR to precisely temperature control DNA amplification to three temperature set points. Constructed with next-generation thermoelectric material, the series offers faster ramp rates and higher reliability than conventional thermoelectric coolers to notably extend field use of molecular diagnostic devices.





PowerCycling PCX thermoelectric coolers for PCR tests


Point-of-care testing allows medical staff to accurately achieve real-time diagnostic results within an hour, rather than days. PCR-based point of care testing is considered the gold standard for diagnosing COVID-19 because it provides the fastest and most accurate test results. Portable point of care testing (POCT) equipment requires a sophisticated thermal management solution that can withstand mechanical stresses induced by rapid temperature changes.





Thermoelectric coolers boost reliability


PowerCycling PCX Series thermoelectric coolers provide high reliability for demanding thermal cycling applications. Product series is designed to handle hundreds of thousands of thermal cycles, providing improved performance and long-life operation in testing applications. Products offer a robust construction with a flexible thermally conductive ‘soft layer’ to reduce mechanical stresses in thermal cycling applications. Devices extend the mean time between failure (MTBF) of point of care equipment, lowering the total cost of ownership.





Modern Thermoelectrics Designed for Point of Care Testing (POCT)






Point of Care Testing enables accurate, real-time diagnostic test results within an hour. PCR point of care testing requires sophisticated thermal cycling that can withstand rapid temperature changes. The PowerCycling PCX Series features next generation material and a robust module construction to speed up PCR testing and provide long-life operation.
