Used BIO-RAD DNA Tetrad 2 / PTC-240 #9291819 for sale

BIO-RAD DNA Tetrad 2 / PTC-240 is a lab instrument used to perform genotyping analysis using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. It provides an automated, precise and reliable system for PCR amplification and genotyping of DNA. DNA Tetrad 2 / PTC-240 features a large capacity reaction chamber that can hold up to seventy-six PCR micro-tubes (0.2 ml tubes). It is a thermal cycler with a heated lid, providing uniform heating, enabling fast program switching. A built-in liquid level sensor detects overfill condition to keep the sample wells and heat chamber safe and clean. It includes a user-friendly graphical user interface which allows for programming, thermal protocol design and easy data acquisition. BIO-RAD DNA Tetrad 2 / PTC-240 is supplied with both vertical (temperature) and horizontal (plugging) lids. The vertical lid includes two thermoplastics and an integrated thermometer. The vertical lid ensures uniform heating of the samples in the micro-tubes, while the horizontal lid helps prevent contamination in and out of the the chamber. DNA Tetrad 2 / PTC-240 offers an extra large chamber to hold extra sample tubes. Its quick-programming feature allows the user to vary the temperature and time settings by increasing the cycling speeds. Its linear programming feature allows the user to program a range of temperatures, from 25oC to 100oC in only 0.3ºC increments. The LCD display shows the temperature profile of the running program and displays the tutorial menu. BIO-RAD DNA Tetrad 2 / PTC-240 is compatible with many accessory such as capillary sequencers, fluorometers, spectrophotometers, incubators, and many others for automated data collection and analysis. In addition, it can be connected to a personal computer for remote control, data acquisition, and data management. DNA Tetrad 2 / PTC-240 is a reliable and rapid automated instrument for genotyping. It offers automated and precise PCR thermal cycling, excellent temperature homogeneity, and easy operation. Durable materials are used in its construction, making it resistant to chemical, physical, and mechanical hazards which could damage the instrument and affect the quality of the results. BIO-RAD DNA Tetrad 2 / PTC-240 is an essential piece of equipment for any laboratory.
