Teach your students how to perform PCR amplification in your classroom laboratory with the compact, easy-to-use PTC Tempo Thermal Cycler.
The PTC Tempo Thermal Cycler offers the latest in Bio-Rad amplification technology and features that make it one of the easiest to use, most robust PCR systems available. Unlike many other competing thermal cyclers, this modern platform offers the consistent thermal uniformity and accuracy of the C1000 Thermal Cycler but with new competitive features that include:
- New compact, industrial design — a cool new look that takes up less bench space in your classroom lab
- Bright, visible LED status lights — see the run status from across the room
- Intuitive touchscreen user interface — easy to use straight out of the box
- Programmable thermal gradient — optimize denaturation, annealing, and extension temperatures in a single run
- No instrument calibration needed — minimize your cost of ownership
- Added connectivity with WiFi, network drive access, and BR.io cloud accessibility — monitor run progress remotely from home or while out for lunch
- Choice of reaction block models — choose your favorite for your specific teaching applications
- Expanded memory — easily store more run protocols and reports
Teach PCR Skills and Applications Using Bio-Rad Explorer Classroom Kits
Bio-Rad offers educational kits that help you teach the principles, techniques, and real-world applications of PCR:
- DNA Barcoding Kits — students incorporate PCR, DNA sequencing, and bioinformatics as they genetically identify species of fish, mammals, insects, or fungi using a DNA barcode
- PV92 PCR Informatics Kit — students extract DNA from their cheek cells or hair follicles and then use PCR and electrophoresis to fingerprint their own DNA
- Crime Scene Investigator PCR Basics Kit — students use pre-made DNA samples to simulate DNA profiling as commonly used in forensic laboratories
- GMO Investigator Kit — students extract DNA from food samples and then apply PCR and DNA electrophoresis to test for the presence of two GMO-associated DNA sequences
