96-well Thermal Cyclers

The TC-4000 and TC-5000 offer high performance and high sample throughput for maximum flexibility and economy, and ideal for a larger number of parallel samples. Both units offer:

• Versatile block format: User-friendly, fully interchangeable block system allows blocks to be exchanged in a matter of seconds without the need for any tools (60 x 0.5ml, 96 x 0.2ml, 96-well fully skirted plates, 384-well or flat plate for In-situ).
• Defined pressure, programmable heated lid (100°C to 115°C) to accommodate a variety of consumables. The heated lid only comes on if the block is set above 35°C.
• Temperature range of 4°C to 99°C
• 8 peltiers: Each block consists of 8 Peltier units, controlled by 4 independent temperature thermistors (control sensors) distributed evenly across the block
•Incremental/decremental time and temperature for applications such as Touchdown PCR
• The TC-4000 and TC-5000 can be connected to a PC along with any other Techne cyclers for high throughput applications using Gensoft software

TC-4000

The TC-4000 is one of the most affordable full sized thermal cyclers in the market, flexible for all your protocols and easy on your budget.

•Intuitive programming: 4-line display with intuitive, simple-to-use software with alphanumeric programming, password protection, simple copy/edit functions and much more.
•Excellent heating rate of 2.6°C/sec and block uniformity of ±0.3°C at 50°C, ensuring optimal reproducibility

TC-5000

The TC-5000 gradient thermal cycler enables you to optimise your experiments at the ?touch of a screen?, with the same mechanical features as the TC-4000.

• ?Real-time? graphical display shows the sample temperature profile while the program is running, including the upper and lower limits of the gradient. This pictorial, real-time representation means instant visualisation of your experiment?s status.
•User-friendly programming interface provided by a 115 x 90mm touch-sensitive screen.
•Excellent heating rate: A maximum heating rate of 3°C/sec and block uniformity of ±0.3°C at 50°C with or without a gradient...no compromise!
•The most linear gradient cycler on the market, with an amazing range of 30°C.
•The gradient calculator function displays the temperature of each column of tubes. This ensures replication of the experimental conditions.
•Gradient range 20°C to 70°C, maximum 30°C
•Decremental/incremental time and temperature
