Techne® TC-512 Thermal Cycler

Touchscreen protocol optimisation with the TC-512


 

The Techne TC-512 is the only Gradient thermal cycler which enables you to optimise your experiments at the “touch of a screen.”  Please see below for a full product specification and list of features.

FEATURES

  • Wide linear gradient:
    The most linear gradient cycler on the market, with an amazing range of 30°C. Protocols can be optimised in a single experiment.
  • TouchScreen:
    The Touchgene Gradient incorporates a large, 115 x 90mm, touch-sensitive screen that provides a unique user-friendly programming interface which is second to none.
  • Graphical display:
    The unique ‘real-time’ graphical display shows the sample temperature profile while the program is running, including the upper and lower limits of the gradient. This pictorial, real-time representation means instant visualisation of your experiment’s status.

  • Memory cards:
    SmartMedia memory cards provide an alternative to internal memory storage of your programs, offering security and flexibility.
  • Gradient calculator:
    The gradient calculator function displays the temperature of each column of tubes. This ensures replication of the experimental conditions.
  • 4-Fold control:
    Each block consists of 8 peltier units, controlled by 4 independent temperature thermistors (control sensors) distributed evenly across the block. This ensures that the TC-512 exhibits the most accurately controlled linear gradient available.
  • High performance:
    A maximum heating rate of 3°C/Sec and block uniformity of ±0.4°C.
  • Versatile block format:
    The truly user-friendly interchangeable block system allows blocks to be interchanged in a matter of seconds without the need of any tools (60 x 0.5ml 96 x 0.2 ml, 384 well, Insitu Block).
  • Proven track record:
    More than 13 years' experience in thermal cycler design ensures that the Techne TC-512 encompasses reliability with all the specifications you could wish. These include: PC control and networking; decremental/incremental time and temperature; and defined pressure programmable heated lid.
  • Intuitive programming:
    Easy to use software with free upgrades available as new functionality is added.
  • New Design Flexible Heated Lid:
    Defined pressure, high quality, programmable heated lid to accommodate a variety of consumables.
