Benchmark Scientific TC 32 Mini Thermal Cycler with Touchscreen Control

Powerful enough for a research lab yet priced right for even high-school and community colleges, the Benchmark Scientific TC-32 is a "right-sized" thermal cycler with thirty-two 0.2ml tube capacity and a simple to program interface.

Smaller than a piece of paper, the TC-32 Mini Thermal Cycler by Benchmark Scientific will fit into the tiniest of lab spaces without sacrificing any of the features you need. With a 32-sample capacity, this PCR machine is compatible with 0.2 ml individual or strip tubes.

This machine offers fast ramp times - up to 5°C per second and precise control of heating and cooling based on simulations of sample temperatures. Your samples quickly reach the programmed temperature without under- or over-shoot, maximizing reaction quality and speed. The uniformity of the heat block ensures consistent temperatures, accurate to within 0.25°C, across all reactions.

Like our larger thermal cyclers, this machine is easy to use. With a large, full-color touch screen and icon-based menus, creating and editing programs is simple and intuitive. The memory stores over 100 programs so that you can start your experiments quickly. The graphical display allows you to track ongoing experiments, and a full report is generated after each run.

For increased versatility, this thermal cycler gives you the option to control ramp rates or add temperature and time increments to your programs for automatic product extension or advanced protocols such as touchdown PCR.

The heated lid is self-adjusting—no knobs and levers required to tighten—and prevents evaporation, condensation, and sample loss.

You can even choose the lid temperature, from 30°C to 112°C, for compatibility with a range of applications.
