C1000 Touch™ Thermal Cycler
The C1000 Touch thermal cycler offers superior performance and a color touch screen for easy programming. It can accommodate different throughput needs with easily interchangeable reaction modules that swap in seconds.

S1000™ Thermal Cycler
The S1000 thermal cycler combines powerful performance with streamlined features. It can be used as a stand-alone instrument for PCR, or it can be connected to a C1000 Touch™ thermal cycler for additional throughput.

T100™ Thermal Cycler
The 96-well T100 thermal cycler offers an intuitive touch screen and reliable performance in a compact footprint.

MJ Mini™ Personal Thermal Cycler
The compact 48-well MJ Mini thermal cycler is a powerful, small-capacity, high-performance personal thermal cycler. The MJ Mini cycler offers thermal gradient technology to optimize reaction conditions.

DNA Engine^® Multi-Bay Thermal Cyclers
The DNA Engine multi-bay platform offers modular flexibility with advanced thermal technology, and is an excellent choice for high-throughput or automated environments.
