Bio-Rad T100 Thermal Cycler 186-10965J with Gradient and Touchscreen

The Bio-Rad T100 Thermal Cycler (model 186-10965J) is a benchtop PCR instrument designed for molecular biology and biotechnology workflows requiring precise temperature control and reproducibility. Featuring a large 5.7-inch VGA color touchscreen, the device offers an intuitive interface to set and optimize PCR protocols. The built-in gradient functionality (30–100 °C with a 1–25 °C difference range) enables efficient fast-PCR condition optimization, critical for gene editing, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology applications.

Key Specifications:

• Sample formats: Supports up to 96 x 0.2 ml tubes, tube strips, or 96-well plates, essential for high-throughput bioprocessing workflows.
• Temperature control: Accuracy within ±0.5 °C and uniformity between wells ensures consistent amplification results vital in clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing pipelines.
• Ramp rates: Maximum ramp rate 4 °C/sec, average 2.5 °C/sec supports fast cycling protocols.
• Memory and data management: Stores 500 standard programs expandable via USB, allowing flexible protocol management for diverse research needs.
• Compact design: Dimensions 26 x 47 x 23 cm and weight 9 kg make it suitable for laboratories with space constraints.

This used unit is sold as is and may not fully retain original performance specifications; it remains suitable for synthetic biology research and molecular cloning workflows that require reliable PCR amplification under established protocol settings. Its user-friendly interface and gradient capability make it widely used in biotechnology research laboratories focusing on fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging sample preparation.
