Description
The Bio-Rad T100 Thermal Cycler is a compact, 96-well PCR instrument designed for nucleic acid amplification and routine molecular biology workflows. Featuring an intuitive touch-screen interface and a thermal gradient block, it allows users to optimize PCR reactions in a single run by testing multiple temperatures simultaneously. Its small footprint, reliable thermal performance, and user-friendly programming make it a core workhorse for academic, clinical, and industrial research laboratories.
Features:
-
Thermal Gradient Technology: Allows optimization of annealing temperatures across an 8-temperature gradient in a single run.
-
Intuitive Touchscreen Interface: Large 5.7-inch color display for easy protocol creation, editing, and execution.
-
Self-Adjusting Heated Lid: Compatible with standard 0.2 mL tubes, tube strips, and 96-well PCR plates without manual adjustments.
-
USB Data Transfer: Easily import, export, and save protocols or run logs using a standard USB flash drive.
-
Compact Footprint: Space-saving design that integrates easily into crowded lab spaces.
-
Personalized User Profiles: Organize and secure protocols with custom user folders and password protection.
