Description
The Labcycler 48S Gradient represents a pinnacle of thermal cycling technology, specifically engineered for laboratories that demand high-performance molecular biology tools within a space-saving footprint. By combining an ultra-conductive silver block with sophisticated software, this thermal cycler delivers the speed and uniformity required for the most sensitive PCR applications.
-
Exceptional Thermal Conductivity: The 48-well block is machined from pure silver, providing significantly faster heat transfer compared to traditional aluminum blocks. To ensure longevity and chemical resistance, the block is finished with a high-quality precious metal plating, protecting the silver from oxidation and wear.
-
Advanced Gradient Functionality: Optimize your assays with ease. The gradient feature allows for a temperature spread of up to 20°C across the block, making it simple to determine the ideal annealing temperature for new primers in a single run.
- Industry-Leading Accuracy: With a temperature range of -5°C to 99°C, the 48S offers superior control. It boasts a temperature uniformity of ± 0.25°C at 55°C, ensuring that every sample—from the center to the edge - experiences identical conditions.
- Silent and Sustainable: Engineered for a quiet lab environment, the 48S operates with minimal noise and low power consumption (maximum 350 Watts), making it an eco-friendly choice for high-throughput settings.
- Warranty: 5 years
