Gradient Thermal Cycler NGTC-105 offers a capacity of 96×0.2 ml wells and 77×0.5 ml wells for flexible sample processing. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 105 °C for diverse applications. This unit features a reinforced aluminum module with anodizing technology for durability and heat efficiency. It allows infinite holding at 4 °C to preserve samples post-run. Our thermal cycler includes a stepless adjustable hot lid to fit tubes of different heights securely.
FAQ for Gradient Thermal Cycler NGTC-105
1: Is there a function to recover experiments after power failure?
Yes, our Gradient Thermal Cycler has an automatic restart function that continues the program from where it stopped once power is restored. This prevents loss of valuable experimental progress.
2: How user-friendly is the interface?
The Gradient Thermal Cycler features an Android operating system with an 8-inch color touchscreen display for easy operation. The graphical interface makes program setup and monitoring simple and intuitive.
3: Does the Gradient Thermal Cycler NGTC-105 provide data logging for compliance?
Yes, our Gradient Thermal Cycler generates GLP-compliant reports that record every step of the process. This ensures accurate documentation for experiment analysis and quality control.
4: How often should the Gradient Thermal Cycler NGTC-105 be cleaned?
It is recommended to clean the block surface and exterior of the unit after every few runs or whenever spills occur. Regular cleaning helps maintain performance and prevents contamination of samples.
5: What is the best way to clean the aluminum module?
You should wipe the aluminum module gently with a soft cloth dampened with 70% ethanol. Avoid using abrasive materials or strong chemicals, as these may damage the anodized coating.
6: Can I run different sample sizes with this Gradient Thermal Cycler?
Yes, the Labnics Gradient Thermal Cycler supports various sample capacities, which is perfect for both small-scale and high-throughput experiments. You can use different formats, like 0.2 mL tubes and 96-well plates, depending on the project. This flexibility makes it very versatile in the lab.
7: Can I monitor the status of my PCR run in real-time?
Yes, our Gradient Thermal Cycler provides real-time status updates via the touchscreen interface, so you can check the progress of your run at any time. It shows detailed information such as current cycle, temperature profile, and estimated time to completion. This feature ensures that you are always aware of how your experiment is progressing.
8: Are there any routine checks I should perform on the Gradient Thermal Cycler?
It is recommended to routinely inspect the thermal cycler for any signs of wear or damage, especially the hot lid and temperature sensors. Check for consistent temperature readings and ensure all software settings are correct before starting an experiment.
9: Can the Gradient Thermal Cycler be used for high-throughput applications?
Yes, it is well-suited for high-throughput workflows due to its ability to handle multiple samples simultaneously in different formats, including 96-well and 384-well plates. This makes it perfect for labs that need to process large numbers of samples in one batch while maintaining precise temperature control.
