Labcycler Gradient with 96 Wells (0.2 ml) Silver Block (± 20 °C)
Labcycler Gradient, 96 Wells (0.2 ml) Silver Block (± 20 °C)
Precision Thermal Engineering
The Labcycler establishes a new benchmark in thermal cycling through its processor-controlled silver block, which integrates independently controlled peltier elements for an unparalleled level of temperature uniformity, even under rapid changes in heating and cooling rates.
The state-of-the-art peltier elements are rigorously tested, with a track record exceeding 600,000 cycles and zero reported failures. This reliability translates into a product lifespan of more than 15 years, even under demanding continuous DNA sequencing procedures.
- Exceptional temperature homogeneity across the full block
- Long lifespan, engineered for extensive DNA sequencing workloads
- RS232 null modem connectivity for program copying and directory transfer between Labcycler units
- TFT touch screen interface with intuitive software for straightforward operation
