Multi-block thermal cycler
The Cole-Parmer PCR-300 Alpha Cyclers are developed to deliver not only the best quality data you can expect from a thermal cycler but also to innovate and exceed the high standards expected by the community. With options of either one, two or four independently controllable blocks, the PCR-300 is a platform which scales to the throughput of the laboratory.
With programs easily transferable between any PCR-300 instrument and user specific defaults stored on the user’s USB login device (any USB drive can be programmed as a login device) there are no issues with transferring work between systems or collaborating/sharing across multiple sites.
Key Features
- Android driven HD touchscreen
- Automated protocol optimisation with Program Wizard
- Remote run and system monitoring via the Application
- Authorise any USB drive to be the user’s login key
- Lock, protect and create favourite programs for ease of access and security
- 96 or 384 well blocks available with block types having gradient functionality
- Manually adjustable heated lids
- Save space with 2 or 4 block units
