Summary

The Good

Pre-programmed and customised templates for fast protocol creation.

The Bad

The system can sometimes crash which results in a lengthy reboot protocol.

The Bottom Line

Overall this is a good thermal cycler. Once the templates are set up the reaction can be started straight away. It is also possible to program the holding temperature to 4°C for temperature-sensitive samples.
