TC2000-G1 Gradient PCR Thermal Cycler – 10.1" Touch Screen

Description

The TC2000-G1 Gradient Thermal Cycler is a high-performance PCR system designed for advanced molecular biology workflows requiring precise temperature control, fast cycling performance, and flexible gradient optimization. It is widely used for DNA amplification, gene cloning, genotyping, and protocol development in research laboratories and diagnostic environments.

With its upgraded thermal control system and expanded program capacity, the TC2000-G1 enables researchers to efficiently optimize annealing conditions through gradient PCR while maintaining high repeatability and temperature uniformity across the entire block.

Note: The TC2000-G1 is a conventional endpoint PCR thermal cycler. It does not support fluorescence detection and is not a real-time PCR (qPCR) instrument. It is intended for standard PCR amplification and gradient optimization workflows only.
