The BioRad PTC-200 DNA Engine delivers a compact, versatile solution for researchers needing a reliable and user-friendly thermal cycler. Its space-saving design allows for easy setup and convenient transport between lab stations or locations.

Specifications

Holds four 96- or 384-well alpha blocks

Heated bonnet lids

90-day warranty

Features

The unit supports interchangeable Alpha block modules, making it compatible with various tube formats, microplates, and slides. This adaptability enhances its usefulness across a wide range of laboratory applications.

A heated lid maintains consistent sample temperatures, ensuring uniform heating and enabling oil-free thermal cycling. This reduces mess and simplifies experiment setup and cleanup.

The intuitive software interface allows for effortless programming, editing, and file management. Users can also secure settings with password protection for added control and data integrity.

With the choice between calculated sample temperature control for maximum precision or block control for broader compatibility, the PTC-200 provides both speed and accuracy in thermal cycling performance.

Testing

The PTC-200 is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that they operate properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. We will do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be run. Additionally, if you have specific testing requirements or requests, please inform us. We will gladly work with you to ensure these requirements are addressed during testing.
