Description
Its Purpose:
The MJ Research PTC-220 Dyad Thermal Cycler is a laboratory instrument used in molecular biology to amplify DNA samples through the process of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The thermal cycler allows for precise and automated temperature cycling of samples, which is crucial for the successful amplification of DNA.
The PTC-220 Dyad Thermal Cycler is designed to accommodate two 96-well plates or 0.2 mL tubes, allowing for high-throughput processing of DNA samples. It features a gradient block that enables the simultaneous amplification of different regions of DNA at different temperatures. This is particularly useful for optimizing PCR protocols and for screening the optimal annealing temperature for a given set of primers.
Acme’s Summary:
Overall, the MJ Research PTC-220 Dyad Thermal Cycler is a reliable and versatile instrument for PCR applications, with a range of features that make it well-suited for use in molecular biology research laboratories.
