Applied Biosystems 9800 Fast Thermal Cycler PCR System 96-Well 4349441

The Applied Biosystems 9800 Fast PCR System is a 96-well fast thermal cycler designed to reduce PCR reaction times while maintaining reproducibility and temperature uniformity. It supports both Fast Mode and Standard Mode for rapid amplification and conventional PCR protocols.

The system can reduce typical PCR reaction times from approximately 2 hours to 25 minutes or less. It is suitable for service laboratories, shared research facilities, molecular biology, biotechnology, and routine genomic DNA amplification workflows.
