• Uses Peltier-Elements, triple circuit technology to heat and cool from 4 to 99°C with a gradient temperature range from 30 to 99°C and a control accuracy of ±0.2°C.
• Block uniformity is ó ±0.3°C between 20 to 72°C and ó ±0.4°C at 95°C.
• Vapo.protect™ lid has a cushion that conforms to the shape of the consumable – no matter which consumable you use. The snug fit of the cushion in combination with the high pressure and excellent heating capabilities of the lid reduces evaporation to a minimum. Vapo.protect™ technology leads to improved reproducibility and specificity at the rim and in the corners of the block. Lid temperature range is 37 to 110°C.
• Features SteadySlope® technology to ensure that the heating and cooling ramp rates are identical in both gradient and normal operation. This means identical temperature control characteristics in both optimization and routine experiments.
• Extremely fast heating and cooling rates.
• Using the Eppendorf Impulse PCR, a software function included in the control panel of #616-590-04, user can increase heating rates to 8°C/sec.
• Control panel features intuitive graphic programming, variable ramp rates, emulation mode for temperature control speed and protocols of the original Mastercycler family, time and temperature increments, a pause command and a programmable alarm. Can store up to 700 programs on 16 MB with more than 100 user-defined folders.
• Password protection against unauthorized login.
• Program and user administration features include one administrator to manage user and service functions, easy addition of new users with limited rights, and a report file for each run including total temperature profiling.
• Display indicates cycler number in a network. Upgradeable to real-time PCR.
• RS232 interface.
• Dimensions (W x D x H): 10.2” x 16.3”x 14.6”. Weight: 18.5 kg.
• One control panel can control up to 5 stand-alone units.
• Using a computer and CycleManager pro software up to 30 units can be controlled.
• The Mastercycler pro system’s programming and user management system provides a GLP-conforming environment for your PCR assays.
• Includes a quality certificate indicating calibration traceable to NIST.
• Power: 120 volt. CSA approved.
• Warranty: 2 years.
