PCR Machine
Free!
A thermal cycler for precise DNA/RNA amplification. It automates temperature cycling with uniform heating, a heated lid to prevent evaporation, and programmable profiles for fast optimization. Compatible with tubes and plates, it suits research, diagnostics, teaching, and quality-control labs. Reliable results, easy operation, and exportable run logs make it a smart upgrade for any lab that needs consistent, defensible PCR performance every day.
Description
A PCR machine—also called a thermal cycler—is a benchtop instrument that automates the temperature changes required to amplify DNA or RNA. It precisely cycles samples through denaturation, annealing, and extension steps, producing millions of copies for downstream analysis. Modern systems feature intuitive touch controls, reliable temperature uniformity, and heated-lid technology to prevent condensation. Flexible block formats support common tube, strip, and plate sizes, making it a dependable core tool for molecular biology, diagnostics, and teaching labs.
Key features and benefits:
• Accurate temperature control and uniform heating for reproducible amplification
• Programmable cycling profiles with pause, hold, and ramp options
• Gradient capability to optimize annealing temperatures across a single run
• Heated lid to minimize evaporation and maintain consistent reaction volumes
• Blocks for 0.2 mL tubes, 8-strip tubes, 96-well, or 384-well plates
• Intuitive interface with onboard method storage and user management
• USB or network export of run logs to support documentation and audits
• Compact footprint and quiet operation for crowded benches
Typical applications:
• Pathogen detection and surveillance workflows
• Cloning, sequencing preparation, and genotyping
• Gene expression studies following reverse transcription (RT-PCR)
• Food, environmental, and forensics testing
• Academic teaching of core molecular techniques
How it compares:
• Versus water-bath methods, thermal cyclers deliver faster ramps, tighter control, and far better reproducibility.
• Fast and gradient models reduce optimization time and increase throughput; standard models provide robust, economical cycling for routine work.
Quality and compliance notes:
• Designed to support good laboratory practice with traceable run data and method locking.
• Laboratories can validate protocols to align with internal QA programs and regional guidelines.
Choose a PCR machine to increase accuracy, shorten workflows, and standardize amplification across teams and projects.
