  • Thermal cycler with self-adjusting lid
    Patent number: 8784753
    Abstract: A thermal cycling instrument for PCR and other reactions performed on multiple samples with temperature changes between sequential stages in the reaction procedure is supplied with a thermal block to provide rapid changes and close control over the temperature in each sample vessel and a pressure plate incorporated into a motorized lid that detects anomalies in the reaction vessels or in their positioning over the thermal block, and automatically adjusts the plate position to achieve an even force distribution over the sample vessels.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 22, 2014
    Assignee: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.
    Inventors: Jeffry M. Ceremony, Daniel Y. Chu, Deepak K. Doshi, Rhoel Rumbaoa, Dennis W. Loring, Paul J. Patt, Cliff Baldwin
