We are a T cell immunology lab which conducts a lot of molecular biology for our experiments. Most molecular biology such as for cloning or regular genotyping PCR requires the use of a thermal cycler to amplify DNA or cDNA. We currently have two of these instruments, and they have performed very robustly and reliably over the years. We ended up purchasing the same instrument again after using the first one. The user interface and such is very easy to use and the touch screen helps a lot.
