Graphical display
The ‘real-time’ graphical display shows the
sample temperature profile while the program is
running, including the upper and lower limits of
the gradient, allowing for instant visualization of
your experiment’s status.
Touchscreen
The TC-5000 incorporates a unique user-friendly
programming interface provided by a 4.5 x 3.5” touch-sensitive screen.
Wide linear gradient
The most linear 96-well gradient cycler on the
market, with an amazing range of 30°C, allowing
annealing temperatures to be optimized in a
single experiment.
Gradient calculator
The gradient calculator function displays the
temperature of each column of tubes. This ensures
replication of the experimental conditions. |
