High-performance thermal cycler with touchscreen, interchangeable blocks, and gradient function for versatile PCR applications.
The Bio-Rad C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler is a versatile and high-precision instrument designed for molecular biology workflows such as PCR, genotyping, and sequencing. Featuring an 8.5” color touchscreen and Windows CE 6.0 software, it enables intuitive protocol setup and management with storage for over 1000 protocols, expandable via USB. This PCR thermocycler supports interchangeable block modules, including 96-well, 384-well, and dual 48-well formats, providing maximal flexibility and scalability for diverse research needs and high-throughput bioprocessing environments.
Key technical specifications include a temperature range of 0–100°C, with a maximum ramp rate of ±5°C/sec and temperature uniformity of ±0.4°C well-to-well, ensuring precise thermal cycling essential for PCR accuracy. The gradient thermal function facilitates optimization of annealing temperatures, critical for molecular cloning workflows and synthetic biology applications. Upgradability for real-time PCR via CFX modules enables expanded utility in molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing pipelines.
Connectivity options include five USB-A ports and one USB-B port, with PC compatibility starting from Windows XP. Compact dimensions (33 × 46 × 20 cm) and a 10 kg weight make it suitable for standard laboratory benchtops. The system’s efficient thermal block design supports fast run times, making it widely adopted in cell imaging and biotechnology research requiring reliable DNA amplification.
This thermal cycler is essential for researchers focused on PCR optimization, gene editing, and molecular diagnostics, offering robust performance and specialized features required for advanced biotechnological and clinical diagnostic applications.
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
