Core Lab Equipment: MJ Research PTC-225 Thermal Cyclers


Description:

The Core Facility has two MJ Research PTC-225 DNA Engine Tetrad thermal cyclers that are gradient enabled and have heated lids.  The temperature can range from –5 to 105 º C with a maximum ramping speed of 3º C per second.  There are three 48/48 dual alpha blocks that will hold 48x0.2 ml tubes, or 48 well PCR plates, and each can run independent programs.   There are also five Alpha units capable of holding 96x0.2 ml tubes, or one 96 well plate each.


The 96 well Alpha units can run a gradient of up to 24 º C across a block, with 12 different temperatures. Programs can be created and stored in individual lab folders on the instrument. For information on programming or using the thermal cyclers please contact a Core Lab Tech.
