Bibby Scientific has announced the addition of the expanded capacity TC-3000X to the Techne range of personal thermal cyclers.
The TC-3000X has two interchangeable block options.
The 6 x 8 format 48-well block can be used with 0.2ml microtubes or, for greater ease of handling when higher throughput is required, Techne has introduced 24 and 48-well plates and eight-tube strips.
Alternatively, the 30 x 0.5ml block offers greater capacity than the usual 12 or 20 tubes of this size.
The defined pressure, heated lid of the TC-3000X is fully height-adjustable.
The TC-3000X has block uniformity of less than +/- 0.2C at 50C, as well as a heating rate of 3.3C per second.
Intuitive software with speed dial functionality facilitates fast program location and, utilising the USB connection, one standalone unit or up to 32 cyclers linked together can be controlled by Techne's free Gensoft PC software.
