Most labs running qPCR end up stuck with either a single-channel machine that takes forever to multiplex or an overpriced system that locks you into their proprietary consumables — this one lets you run four dyes at once with standdard tubes or plates, no ridiculous markups on strip caps.
Peltier block hits 6°C per second heating and 5°C cooling, so a 40-cycle run finishes in about 45 minutes give or take, and we've had clients push it through 800,000 cycles without drift — the Marlow unit is a million cycles, but honestly most buyers never hit that limit in normal use.
Temperature holds at ≤±0.2°C across all 96 wells at 90°C, which is better than a lot of the Chinese clones that claim 0.3°C but start wobbling after a few hundred cycles, and the gradient range goes form 30°C to 105°C with a differential up to 42°C for optimization work.
We ship these with CE certs and a COA on the optics calibration, but teh range is 1 to 10^10 copies with sensitivity down to a single copy — basically it'll pick up what a 7900HT sees, just without the service contract headache.
Lead time is usually 20 days or so from order, but we keep about 50 units in stock for rush orders, and the self-contained touch screen runs Windows 10 so you can export data as Excel or TXT straight off the machine — no need for a separate laptop unless you want LAN control.
One thing to watch: the heat lid goes up to 112°C, but if you're running high-volume 50µl reactions, the 600W power draw means you'll want a dedicated circuit in your lab — it's not suited for cramped bench setups with a bunch of other equipment on the same breaker.
We typically require a minimum order of 1 unit for the MCL0737, but if you need a larger volume, just let us know and we can discuss pricing and lead times.
Standard lead time is around 7-15 working days after order confirmation, depending on stock availability. We'll confirm the exact timeline when you place the order.
Yes, the MCL0737 is CE certified, and we can provide the certificate upon request. It meets the required standards for laboratory use in Europe and other regions.
You can use both white and clear PCR tubes, strips, or 96-well plates with optical flat caps. White tubes often give better signal sensitivity, but clear ones work fine too.
Store it in a clean, dry environment at room temperature (15-30°C) with low humidity. Keep it away from direct sunlight and dust to maintain the Peltier and optical components.
