Great thermal cycler for undergrads
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Amplify DNA from various samples

"I am a professor that coordinates (and even teaches some of) the undergraduate biology labs at my institution. I needed to buy a thermal cycler that would stand up to student use, and be easy for them to use. This fits the bill! We have been using it regularly for a few years now and are very happy. Everything works great. The saved programs and the touchscreen are great features."

A molecular researcher cannot live without this instrument.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Molecular genetics research: PCR

"The use of the tool is very easy and simple. This tool is very important in various molecular studies, especially in my research experience regarding the molecular detection of important genes related to the resistance traits to environmental stress in sugarcane. Maintenance is very easy, so it does not require complicated steps or takes a long time. Prices are quite affordable. "

Reliable and user friendly thermal cycler machine.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:PCR thermal cycler

"This is an easy-to-use machine with a nice touch screen that shows how it's used step by step in detail. As our main focus is on cloning, we use it multiple times per day for amplifying, digesting, annealing, and ligation."

It's the little things that make this machine superior
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:PCR and DNA sample prep

"I love this little green and cream machine. Creating programs is incredibly easy and the organization and user interface are clear. It does exactly what I want it to do and is incredibly well thought out. My favorite thing about it is that the software includes a clock view so that you can easily see how much longer you have on your program from across the lab. It also makes a noise (not super loud, but noticeable) when it goes into "hold forever". At the end of the day, thermocyclers just need to work, but BioRad has probably won any future thermocycler purchases that I have control over."

  • Application Area:PCR, site directed mutagenesis and sample incubation

"The thermal cycler works efficiently and the touch screen programming makes it very simple to use. We have been using for around 2 months and have not seen any problems. It heats up very quickly and appears to be stable at the required temperature. It was very useful to have a rep demonstrate the machine and to loan one for a few days to try out before buying. On purchasing the machine it arrived the following day which is excellent service. A rep was on hand before and after installation to assist with any queries. There was a special offer at the time which made it great value and having obtained quotes from other companies we found the price to be the most competitive for this type of instrument."
