MJ Research PTC 100 Thermal Cycler

MJR PTC-100 The MJ Research PTC-100 is a 96 well thermocycler that also uses a heated lid for oil-free operation plus the following features: Improved Hot Bonnetª heated lid incorporates a thumbwheel to adjust height and pressure. This feature assures tight sealing of reaction vessels --even microplates-- during oil-free thermal cycling. Precise Peltier-effect heat pumps --robustly designed for repeated cycling-- deliver the full temperature range of 0-100C electronically, in a compact instrument with a footprint that measures 24cm x 28cm x 27cm high. Speedy ramping rates of; up to 1.4¡/sec in models that hold 0.2ml tubes or V-well plates; Unparalleled temperature homogeneity: ±0.4C within 30 seconds of arrival @ 60C for all standard models.

Features & Specifications:

• Hot Bonnet heated lid incorporates a thumbwheel to adjust height and pressure. This feature assures tight sealing of reaction vessels ­ even microplates ­ during oil-free thermal cycling
• Peltier-effect heat pumps ­ robustly designed for repeated cycling ­ deliver the full temperature range of 0°-100°C electronically
• Speedy ramping rates of up to 1°C/sec in models that hold 0.5ml tubes, 96-U-well or 192-well plates; up to 1.4°/sec in models that hold 0.2ml tubes or V-well plates; up to 2.5°/sec in models with the silver-gold block.
• Temperature homogeneity: ±0.4°C within 30 seconds of arrival @ 60°C for all standard models.
• Memory stores approximately 320 programs, and cycler comes with 14 preprogrammed protocols. Any sequence of temperatures can be cycled up to 10,000 times; ramping rates less than maximum may be specified.
• Extremely accurate incubations, with NIST-traceable calibration. Any temperature— including below-ambient temperatures— may be held indefinitely. This feature allows refrigeration after an unattended run.
• Parallel printer port (optionally) allows the instrument to print thermal profiles in real time and document programs in hard copy. Additionally, an analog jack can output to a 0-5 volt chart recorder.
• Power-failure protection will resume program after power interruptions of up to twelve hours.
