Overview

Thermal cyclers, also known as PCR machines, are essential laboratory devices used to amplify DNA segments through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process. They play a critical role in genetic research, diagnostics, and biotechnology applications by precisely controlling temperature cycles necessary for DNA denaturation, annealing, and extension.

FAQ

What should I look for when buying a used thermal cycler?

Check the machine's overall condition, the number of cycles it has completed, and whether it has been regularly maintained. Also, ensure that the software is up to date and compatible with your laboratory requirements.

How do I ensure the thermal cycler is shipped safely?

Use a specialized shipping service that handles delicate laboratory equipment. Ensure the thermal cycler is securely packed with adequate cushioning to prevent damage during transit.

What is the maintenance schedule for a thermal cycler?

Regularly check the machine for dust and debris, ensure the lid and seals are clean, and verify the temperature calibration periodically. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for detailed maintenance guidelines.
