Benchmark TC-96 Turbo™ 2D Gradient Thermal Cycler

The Benchmark TC-96 Turbo™ 2D Gradient Thermal Cycler is designed for fast cycling and quick protocol optimization. It has tight temperature control and excellent block uniformity for consistent and reliable results.

Features:

• Temperature ramp rates as fast as 9°C/second (up to 20% faster than other popular thermal cyclers)
• 2D Gradient for simultaneous optimization of annealing and denaturation temperatures. The ability to optimize both of these steps provides for an increase in yield and specificity of complex or GC-rich templates
• Temperature change is precisely controlled by a proprietary algorithm that simulates sample temperature
• Allows samples to arrive at the programmed temperature without any lag or overshoot
• The 10" full-color touch screen can be tilted towards the user for easy access and folds away to save bench space
• All operating parameters are controlled and monitored from the adjustable screen
• Program wizard for quick and easy programming
• The lid temperature can be manually adjusted, allowing for precise control
• Lid height automatically adjusts to prevent condensation for all of the accepted consumables
• Programming features include adjustable ramp rates, temperature and time increments/decrements, password-protected multi-user login, and a memory for 30,000 programs
• Can accommodate 96 x 0.2 mL tubes/strips, 96 x 0.1 mL tubes, or non-skirted 96-well plate
• Compatible with Accuris™ PCR reagents
