Used BIO-RAD iCycler #293672272 for sale

BIO-RAD iCycler is a laboratory instrument designed to perform a variety of functions for purposes of molecular biology research. iCycler is a highly advanced thermal cycler instrument that is used to optimally automate PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). From DNA purification to PCR set-up, to the cycling step itself, BIO-RAD iCycler can handle all these aspects automatically, making it a versatile and valuable tool for PCR high throughput laboratories. ICycler consists of a main base unit, a plate carrier, and an interchangeable carousel. BIO-RAD iCycler is compact and intuitive, with a clear display that makes it easy to use. The carousel enables the user to quickly and accurately move pipetting tips, plates, or tubes, as well as other laboratory supplies, in and out of the instrument for efficient preparation and operation. ICycler can hold up to 12 reaction vessels at a time, allowing for rapid PCR set-up. To ensure exact temperatures, BIO-RAD iCycler uses an advanced Peltier heating/cooling system. The system has the ability to accurately control temperatures within a range of 4-99°C. This enhanced control allows users to run single sample, gradient, or multiplex PCR reactions, depending on the assay requirements. The software allows for both manual and automated temperature ramping, as well as multiple comparison runs. ICycler also offers a unique "mixing as you go" feature. Instead of having to manually mix the reaction components before adding them to the heating stage, this feature allows the user to mix the components right in the carousel. This reduces time and labor for repetitive PCR set-up. BIO-RAD iCycler also offers a web-based remote control option. This allows users to interface with the instrument from any computer on the same network. In addition, iCycler is optimised for use with BIO-RAD real-time detection systems, such as the iQ-SYBR Green and the iQ-200 systems. This allows users to easily run real-time assays that can detect minute changes and differences in the sample being monitored. From DNA purification to PCR set-up, to the cycling step itself, BIO-RAD iCycler offers a reliable, efficient, and advanced solution for PCR and qPCR users. The instrument is intuitive and easy to use, and offers enhanced temperature control, rapid plate set-up, simple mixing, and an optimised interface for the real-time detection systems. These features make iCycler an invaluable lab tool for PCR and qPCR research.
