The MJ Research PTC-225 Gradient Thermal Cycler is a robust
PCR with the ability to run four individual blocks simultaneously without
compromising accuracy and performance. Through extraordinary temperature
uniformity and thermal accuracy, this MJ Research cycler provides the most exact
data available for multiple samples. The PTC-225 features a "hot swappable" block, as well as gradient and non-gradient controlled base options. The PTC-225 can accommodate multiple blocks, such as
384 well, 60 well, 96 well, and dual 48 well blocks, among many others, including specialty blocks like the insitu. This thermal
cycler has a high-density display, on-board point-and-click software
navigation, and real-time monitoring for ease of use and accuracy.
The MJ Research PTC-225 Gradient Thermal Cycler is recommended
for use in labs with high throughput PCR applications.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory
specifications before being shipped.
The MJ Research PTC-225 Gradient Thermal Cycler includes:
- > 4- 96 Well Alpha Blocks
- > Power Supply
- > NIST Traceable Calibration Certificate
- > Operator's Manual
- > Power Cord
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty
