Bio-Rad Introduces the T100™ Thermal Cycler

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. introduces the T100 thermal cycler, a compact, reliable, and economical 96-well PCR instrument with an easy-to-use graphical touch screen.

The T100 thermal cycler is ideally suited for small labs or for scientists who prefer a personal instrument on their bench.

Bio-Rad developed the user interface for the T100 thermal cycler so researchers are able to edit, run, and save protocols with ease. The system also provides a way for researchers to stay organized by either storing protocols in personalized folders or exporting them to a USB flash drive.

In addition, researchers can expedite their experiments by using the thermal gradient technology on the T100 thermal cycler to optimize assay conditions. The thermal cycler can test eight annealing temperatures simultaneously to determine the optimal temperature for high reaction specificity and yield.

The T100 thermal cycler provides accurate and uniform heating for sample volumes between 1 and 100 µl, which leads to consistent results. Complete hermetic sealing of the thermoelectric components ensures long-lasting performance.

With the T100 thermal cycler, researchers can:

•Save time programming — An intuitive graphical touch screen makes programming protocols and performing PCR experiments easy.

•Get optimal results faster — Thermal gradient enables reaction optimization in a single run, and with a 4oC/sec maximum ramp rate, runs can be completed quickly.

•Be confident in results — Robust seal protects thermoelectric components from condensation and ensures long-lasting performance.
