Overview
New Version Available!
PTC Tempo Software 3.0.0.8 is now available for all PTC Tempo models. This update incorporates all the PTC Tempo Thermal Cycler models, connectivity to Bio-Rad’s BR.io app to manage PCR protocol files and view run status, and the ability to integrate with laboratory automation systems using the PTC Tempo Automation API. Go to bio-rad.com/PCRUpdates to upgrade your PTC Tempo thermal cycler's software and firmware. Follow directions within the 10000160470 Release Notes to upgrade your PTC Tempo today.
The PTC Tempo Thermal Cycler represents the next generation of conventional PCR thermal cyclers from Bio-Rad. Engineered to maintain thermal performance that delivers accurate results, the PTC Tempo Thermal Cycler offers the flexibility to scale with your laboratory. The new design features a refreshed, intuitive user interface and flexible connectivity options for streamlining protocol management. A motorized lid enables automation, taking your PCR to the next level with modern instrument control.
The PTC Tempo Thermal Cycler is available in multiple fixed-block configurations: PTC Tempo 96 Thermal Cycler for most general PCR applications and PTC Tempo Deepwell Thermal Cycler with larger volumes up to 125 µl.
