Benchmark Scientific | TC 9639 Thermal Cycler | High-Performance PCR Machine with Touchscreen Control & Multi-Format Block
The Benchmark Scientific TC 9639 Thermal Cycler is a high-performance PCR machine designed to deliver reliable and consistent results for medium to high-throughput laboratories.
Available from Alto Med Supply, this advanced thermal cycler features an intuitive, full-color touchscreen interface that simplifies programming and operation.
Users can quickly access saved protocols, run previous programs, or set up new cycles using the easy-to-navigate Program Wizard.
Engineered for flexibility, the TC 9639 includes a unique multi-format sample block that accommodates a variety of formats—96×0.2 ml PCR tubes, 0.2 ml strips, 0.5 ml tubes, and standard 96-well plates—all in a single unit.
This eliminates the need for costly interchangeable blocks and adds convenience to daily lab workflows.
For expanded applications, an optional 384-well block or in-situ adapter is also available.
The unit’s smart heated lid minimizes sample evaporation and condensation, with an auto shut-off feature when the block temperature drops below 35°C.
A proprietary temperature control algorithm ensures precise heating and cooling performance across all cycles, with the option to add time/temperature increments and ramp rate adjustments for protocol optimization.
With unlimited storage options—public, private, or USB-based—and alphanumeric naming through a virtual keyboard, this PCR thermal cycler provides both power and convenience.
The TC 9639 is also fully compatible with Accuris™ PCR reagents, allowing you to further optimize your results.
Ideal for research use, the Benchmark TC 9639 offers advanced features in a user-friendly design, making it a dependable choice for labs looking to streamline their PCR workflows.
