BIO-RAD PTC-200 THERMAL CYCLER

CONDITION: FAIR BIO-RAD PTC-200 THERMAL CYCLER WAS CREATED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF A FLEXIBLE, VERSATILE EASY TO USE THERMAL CYCLER BY A TEAM OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGISTS AND ENGINEERS. THIS STATE-OF-THE-ART INSTRUMENT AMPLIFIES A SMALL SAMPLE OF DNA/RNA INTO THOUSANDS OF COPIES THROUGH THE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION PROCESS, WITH HIGHLY REPEATABLE ACCURATE RESULTS. THIS DNA ENGINE HAS A LOT OF POWER IN A COMPACT SPACE-SAVING, PORTABLE DESIGN. THE BASE OF THE BIORAD PTC-200 DNA ENGINE CAN ACCOMMODATE A SERIES OF INTERCHANGEABLE SAMPLE BLOCKS, PART OF THE ALPHA UNIT FAMILY. THIS THERMAL CYCLER COMES WITH A 96V ALPHA BLOCK, WITH A CAPACITY OF EITHER 96 X 0.2 ML TUBES, OR ONE 96-WELL MICROPLATE, AND IS TRUE GRADIENT CAPABLE. THE BIORAD PTC-200 PCR 96 ALPHA BLOCK HAS AN ACCURACY OF + 0.4 °C, 30 SECONDS AFTER THE TIMER BEGINS FOR THE GRADIENT STEP, WITH A COLUMN UNIFORMITY, AND CALCULATOR ACCURACY OF + 0.4 °C. THE ALPHA BLOCK HAS A TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 30 – 105°C, WITH A TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL RANGE OF 1-24°C. THE HOT BONNET HEATED LID ALLOWS FOR OIL-FREE CYCLING. THE BIORAD PTC-200 THERMAL CYCLER UTILIZES INTUITIVE SOFTWARE, PASSWORD PROTECTION, AND AN EASY-TO-READ INTERFACE FOR QUICK PROGRAMMING, EDITING, AND FILE MANAGEMENT. FACTORY-INSTALLED PROTOCOLS FOR RAMPING AND COOLING OF THE THERMAL CYCLER CAN BE CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR NEEDS. UP TO 15 PCR MACHINES CAN BE NETWORKED TOGETHER FOR CONVENIENT DOCUMENTATION OF RUNS AND REMOTE OPERATION. PUSH-BUTTON CONTROLS SIT ON THE FRONT DASH ALLOWING FOR QUICK ACCESS. YOU HAVE THE CHOICE OF CONTROL IN YOUR THERMAL CYCLER, EITHER THROUGH CALCULATED SAMPLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR THE HIGHEST SPEED AND ACCURACY OR THROUGH A BLOCK OR PROBE CONTROL TO MATCH PROTOCOLS DESIGNED FOR A VARIETY OF INSTRUMENT TYPES.
