Your lab techs are running 96 HPV genotyping samples alongside 77 more for a respiratory panel on a single shift, and they need the block to handle both without swapping modules mid-run—that's where the 96+77-well configuration actually saves time over the standdard 96-well plate.
It hits ±0.2°C accuracy from 35°C to 100°C, and uniformity at 95°C is the same tolerance, so melt curve resolution stays tight enough to distinguish SNP variants without repeating wells; heating and cooling rates are 5°C and 4°C per second respectively, which knocks about 12 minutes off a typical 40-cycle RT-PCR protocol compared to older Peltier blocks.
We usually stock the 96-well and 48-well modules, but the 384-well option has a 6-week lead time or so—check before ordering if you need high-throughput for a population screen. The 7-inch touch screen stores 10,000 protocols, and basically every tech I've talked to finds the interface more intuitive than the Bio-Rad CFX series, though that's subjective.
Power draw peaks at 600W, and it accepts 85-265V AC (47-63Hz), so you don't need a dedicated circuit for most bench setups; the auto shut-off and pressure alert on heated lid (30-112°C) prevent tube popping during high-temperature denaturation steps—something you'll appreciate if you've ever cleaned melted polypropylene out of a thermal block.
Certifications include CE, FDA, and ISO13485 for clinical use (not just research-grade), and you get USB 2.0, LAN, and RS232 ports for LIMS integration.: it's not suited for digital PCR or high-resolution melt analysis requiring tempearture ramps below 0.1°C/sec—that's just not what this ramp rate was designed for.
MOQ is 5 units for the first order if you want teh 96+77-well module, otherwise single units ship within 2-3 weeks. 30% lower pricing than equivalent FDA-cleared alternatives form Roche or Thermo Fisher, and our company provide full COA and SDS with each shipment.
MOQ is typically 1 unit for initial orders, but we can discuss bulk discounts if you're looking at 10+ units for a lab or clinic.
Standard lead time is 15–20 working days after order confirmation. Express shipping can cut that to about 10 days if needed.
Yes, we supply full CE, FDA, and ISO13485 certs with each MPCR-A100 shipment. Just let us know if you need any specific language versions.
The standard firmware supports up to 30 protocol steps. If you need more steps, we can discuss a custom firmware version, but it would require a minimum order of 5 units.
It ships in a foam-lined cardboard box with shock protection. Store it in a dry, dust-free environment at 10–40°C. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity.
