Description

Its Purpose:

The purpose of the Bio-Rad S1000 Gradient Thermal Cycler is to precisely control the temperature of samples as they undergo multiple cycles of heating and cooling. This allows the PCR process to be carried out efficiently and accurately, resulting in the amplification of specific DNA fragments for further analysis.

Acme’s Summary:

The Bio-Rad S1000 Gradient Thermal Cycler is a laboratory instrument used for a variety of molecular biology applications, particularly for DNA amplification through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique.The gradient feature of the Bio-Rad S1000 allows for the optimization of PCR conditions by testing a range of annealing temperatures in a single run. This enables researchers to quickly identify the optimal annealing temperature for a given primer pair, which can save time and resources in the PCR optimization process.
