Overview

Teach your students how to perform the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with Bio-Rad's T100 thermal cycler. A PCR workhorse in academic and industrial research labs, the T100 thermal cycler offers a compact footprint, user-friendly interface, and the reliability, durability, and performance that you expect from Bio-Rad. Thermal gradient technology makes it easy to optimize PCR reactions in a single run. Capable of running up to 96 samples all at once, the T100 thermal cycler also features a self-adjusting heated lid and accommodates standard PCR tubes, tube strips, and plates.

Key Features

  • Save time programming with the intuitive touch screen
  • Get superior results faster by optimizing your PCR assays in a single run using a thermal gradient
  • Save valuable benchspace with the compact design
  • Keep your protocols organized using personalized folders or a USB flash drive
  • Get reliable performance for years with a robust design that protects the thermoelectric components of the cycler
