MJ Research PTC-200 Thermal Cycler, Weight 25lbs, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (CAT#: STEM-PEPO-0014-LGZ)
Highlights
Guaranteed to meet OEM specifications. Equipped with RS232, IEEE-488 and parallel printer type ports. Compatible with several Alpha modules and blocks.
The MJ Research PTC-200 DNA Engine, now also known as the Bio-Rad PTC 200 is a reliable peltier thermal cycler boasting a polished and robust design. Thermal Valve Lid A heated lid is fitted to the PTC 200 thermal cycler to control pressure and height. Therefore, the PTC-200 system can accommodate various plastic products. This feature also enables oil-free circulation. The system's peltier effect heat pump facilitates repeated cycling using the PTC-200 thermal cycler.
The MJ Research PTC-200 thermal cycler is equipped with interchangeable sample blocks and heat pump assemblies, allowing the user to easily change formats between runs while maintaining nist-traceable accuracy. The model's single control unit is also available with different alpha modules and alpha blocks for added functionality. The user can achieve thermal control of the instrument by using the plug-in sample probe or calculation method. Block control enhances protocol compatibility, while computational sample temperature control improves speed and accuracy.
