So when a lab tech is running a PCR setup for pathogen detection, they'll load their 96-well plate and expect consistent amplification across every single well—that's where the block uniformity matters, and we've seen this hold up well even after hundreds of runs.
We usually have stock on these, but confirm lead time if you need more than 20 units or so, as the alumnum alloy block is machined to tighter tolerances than most generic cyclers, which keeps temperature drift under 1°C across the whole plate.

The 7-inch LCD touch screen is pretty straightforward to navigate, and you can store up to 30 program steps with 99 cycles each, which is more than enough for most standard protocols—some buyers go with the gradient range from 30-99°C for optimization work.

One thing we've noticed is that heat lid temperture (30-110°C) actually helps reduce evaporation in longer runs, though it's not suited for very high-throughput labs running 24/7 because the lid hinge can wear over time (usually after 2-3 years of heavy use).

Anyway, the temperature accuracy is within ±0.5°C, which is better than reagent-grade cyclers for clinical work, and the gradient differential goes from 1-42°C, so you can test multiple annealing temperatures in a single run.
Power supply is universal—110V to 220V, 50 or 60Hz—so no issues with internaional shipping, and at 11kg it's not too heavy to move between benches, though the dimensions (398×280×257mm) mean it takes up about as much space as a small desktop printer.
You can set a temperature differential from 1°C up to 42°C between the block edges, with a gradient range of 30 to 99°C. That gives you a lot of flexibility for optimizing annealing temperatures in a single run.
Yes, we supply a calibration certificate and quality test report with each unit, verifying the temperature accuracy within ≤±0.5°C and uniformity ≤1°C. Just let us know if you need additional documentation for your lab audit.
We don't have a strict MOQ for standard models—you can order just one unit. For bulk or OEM orders, we can discuss volume discounts and lead times separately.
The built-in firmware is locked to 30 program steps and 99 cycles, so that's the max without custom firmware development. If you need more steps or cycles, we can discuss a custom firmware version for larger orders.
We ship the TEC01 in a foam-cushioned carton with secure strapping. For long-term storage, keep it in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity.
