Benchmark TC 9639 Gradient Thermal Cycler with Multiformat Block

Benchmark TC 9639 Gradient Thermal Cycler with Multiformat Block

Gradient thermal cyclers, also known as gradient PCR machines, are used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process. PCR is a technique used to amplify specific DNA sequences, allowing researchers to generate large amounts of DNA from a small starting sample. 

The fully adjustable heated lid prevents condensation and evaporation of samples. Lid temperature can be programmed, and when the block temperature is below 35°, the lid automatically shuts off. Heating and cooling of the block are precisely and accurately controlled within exceptionally tight tolerances by a proprietary algorithm that simulates sample temperature.

The TC 9639 has the flexibility to accept 96×0.2ml tubes, a 96 well plate, 0.2ml strips or 39 x 0.5ml tubes all in the same sample block. For protocol optimization, a gradient can be set up across the block. An optional in-situ adapter allows for incubation of slides. Additionally, the unit may be purchased with a 384 well sample block.
