Benchmark Scientific | TC-32 Mini Thermal Cycler | Compact 32-Well PCR Machine with Touchscreen Control & Fast, Reliable Cycling
The Benchmark Scientific TC-32 Mini Thermal Cycler, available at Alto Med Supply, offers a compact and efficient solution for lower throughput PCR needs.
With a small footprint of just 9 by 7 inches, this mini thermal cycler accommodates up to 32 tubes of 0.2 ml or four PCR strips, making it ideal for laboratories and educational facilities with limited space.
Despite its size, the TC-32 delivers fast and reliable cycling performance, heating and cooling samples at rates up to 5°C per second thanks to its advanced proprietary temperature control algorithm that ensures precise temperature regulation without overshoot or undershoot.
Equipped with a large, full-color touchscreen, the device features intuitive, icon-driven programming that simplifies setup and operation.
Users can store over 100 protocols, adjust ramp rates, and utilize features like time and temperature increments, auto pause, and restart functions.
The self-adjusting heated lid prevents sample evaporation and condensation by firmly sealing tubes without the need for manual adjustments.
After a run, samples can be held at 4°C, and an on-screen report is provided for convenient review.
Designed to combine the powerful capabilities of larger thermal cyclers with a more economical price and space-saving design, the Benchmark TC-32 Mini is perfect for researchers needing reliable PCR performance in a compact form.
