PCR Machines

PCR machines, or thermocyclers, amplify DNA by regulating temperature in cyclical programs. A crucial tool in molecular applications, these highly specialized instruments progressively enjoy advancements in design and mechanics over time, such as enhancements in lid security, heat block reliability, hardware functionality, and more. Blocks become easily interchangeable to accommodate various sample formats, such as single tubes, strip wells, and multi-well tubes. Some models also feature dual or multi-blocks that operate independently to handle multiple, simultaneous experiments. The temperature range of most PCR machines generally fall between 4°C to 99°C, while complex instruments can cool down to as low as 0°C. The heating rate determines the speed at which thermal cycling can occur and generally ranges between 3°C to 6°C. Increasingly, thermal cyclers are offering various levels of connectivity, with some models including USB ports and internet access for data sharing and remote access. PCR machines will vary in price, ranging from around $3,000 to above $15,000 with higher-end models.
