The MJ Research PTC-100 Thermal Cyler is a robust
thermocycler that operates with
96-well and 60-well microplates. This thermocycler is
reliable and easy-to-use, while also offering various temperature
configurations from 0°C to 105°C with temp accuracy of ± 0.3°C. The PTC-100 has
a heated lid for oil-free operation, which allows for convenient pressure and
height adjustment via a thumbwheel. Crafted to withstand repeated cycling, the
PTC-100 thermocycler can follow any temperature sequence up to 10,000 times and
can store material indefinitely at any temperature, allowing for highly
accurate incubation rates. The MJ Research PTC-100 can store approximately 320
programs and comes with 14 pre-programmed protocols. Due to the PTC's
power-failure protection feature, data is safe after power interruption for up
to twelve hours.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory
specifications before being shipped.
The MJ Research PTC-100 Thermal Cycler includes:
- > 96 Well Alpha Block
- > NIST Traceable Calibration Certificate
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Manual
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty
