Thermal Cyclers for PCR
Overview
Thermal cyclers are essential laboratory equipment for researchers who run polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for sequencing, cloning, genotyping, mutagenesis, and many other applications. Common features of Bio-Rad's thermal cyclers include Peltier effect technology for precise temperature control and thermal gradient to easily optimize PCR assays in a single run. Instruments range from an economical option to the flexible 1000-series, which offers multiple block formats for increased throughput capabilities and a dual 48/48-well unit that allows two independent experiments to run simultaneously.
