Highly efficient, consistent PCR workflows

The ODTC integrates with Hamilton automated liquid handling workstations to automate multi-step genomic workflows with fast runs and high performance.

High-precision, automated thermal cycling

As a complete walkaway solution, the ODTC uses innovative 3D vapor chamber technology for streamlined, precise, and highly reproducible PCR workflows. With broad operating temperature range, unparalleled accuracy and uniformity, and adjustable heating and cooling rates, our ODTC excels in markets like:

  • Clinical Diagnostics
  • Food, Beverage, and Agricultural Sciences
  • Forensics
  • Genomics
  • Pharma & Biopharma

Simple liquid handler integration

Available in 96-well and 384-well formats, the ODTC occupies 2.5 ANSI/SLAS footprint sites on the Hamilton liquid handling platform deck, with an external controlling unit and power supply. Full access is available for direct pipetting into PCR plates during heating and cooling. Temperature is maintained even when the lid is open.

Common applications Genomics, PCR Set-Up, NGS Library Prep, Single Cell Analysis, Agri-Food and Beverage

The Hamilton ODTC fully integrates onto our automated liquid handling decks for highly efficient, precise results with walkaway convenience.

The temperature-adjustable ODTC lid prevents condensation, while our Comfort Lids fit PCR plates precisely to minimize evaporation during thermal cycling.

The ODTC offers high well-to-well uniformity along with rapid heating and cooling rates and a seamless transition into plateau phases.

Multiple ODTC may be integrated on select Hamilton automated liquid handlers. Contact your local Hamilton representative for details.
