The RapidCycler can complete a 30 cycle reaction in less than 15 minutes. The RapidCycler instruments use microcapillary tubes or 1.5 mm reaction cuvettes, which are ideally suited to temperature cycling since they have very thin walls and extremely high surface area to volume ratio. Capillary tubes cut sample temperature lag to less than a second. The use of air as the cycling medium results in high temperature ramp rates. Tornado-like conditions inside the cylindrical reaction chamber ensure both temperature uniformity and rapid heat exchange with the sample. This allows the RapidCycler to spend less than one second at the high and low temperatures and still be certain that each sample has reached the target temperature. A fraction of a second is adequate for the reaction.
