Product description

Precise thermal cycler with 4–100°C range, ±0.3°C accuracy, gradient function, and rapid ramp rates.

The Biorad A-50 is a high-performance thermal cycler designed to meet the rigorous demands of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications in molecular biology and biotechnology laboratories. This instrument ensures precise and uniform thermal cycling, which is essential for accurate DNA amplification.

Key features include:

  • Wide thermal range: Operates from 4°C to 100°C, accommodating various PCR protocols.
  • High accuracy: Maintains ±0.3°C accuracy, ensuring reliable results.
  • Uniformity: Achieves well-to-well uniformity of ±0.4°C, reducing variability across samples.
  • Rapid ramping rates: Heating up to 3.3°C/s and cooling up to 2.0°C/s, facilitating shorter run times.
  • Gradient function: Allows optimization of annealing temperatures across a gradient, enhancing protocol development.
  • User-friendly interface: Stores up to 256 programs, simplifying workflow management.

The Biorad A-50 is widely utilized in academic research institutions, biotechnology companies, and clinical laboratories for applications such as gene expression analysis, genotyping, and mutational analysis. Its robust performance and reliability have made it a staple in laboratories since its release in the early 2010s, and it continues to be relevant in current research settings.

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.
