Product description

Thermal cycler with Peltier heating/cooling, oil-free lid, flexible sample formats, and modular upgrade options.

The Bio-Rad iCycler is a versatile thermal cycler designed to perform polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and other thermal cycling applications with precision and reliability. Utilising a Peltier heating and cooling system, this instrument ensures accurate temperature control, facilitating reproducible results across various protocols.

Key features include:

Oil-free operation: A self-adjusting heated lid eliminates the need for oil overlays, reducing contamination risks and simplifying sample handling.

Flexible sample capacity: Compatible with multiple formats, including 0.2 ml tubes, 96-well plates, and 384-well modules, accommodating diverse experimental needs.

Intuitive user interface: An easy-to-navigate software with graphical displays streamlines protocol creation and editing, supporting complex thermal cycles with up to nine steps per cycle and up to 600 repetitions.

Modular design: Upgradeable with additional features, such as the iCycler iQ™ Real-Time PCR detection system, allowing adaptation to evolving research requirements.

The iCycler is widely employed in molecular biology, genetics, and biomedical research, supporting applications like gene expression analysis, genotyping, and mutation detection. It is commonly utilised in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical diagnostics facilities. Introduced in the early 2000s, the iCycler remains a reliable tool in many laboratories, though newer models have since been developed.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
