What is a thermal cycler used for?

A thermal cycler, also known as a PCR machine, is used to amplify DNA and RNA segments via the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) by rapidly heating and cooling samples to specific temperatures for defined durations.

What maintenance is typically required for a thermal cycler?

Routine maintenance commonly includes cleaning the sample block and external surfaces, checking for block uniformity, and ensuring proper ventilation. Periodic calibration may also be recommended.

Can this unit be used for real-time PCR?

The PTC-225 is a standard thermal cycler designed for endpoint PCR. It does not typically have the optical detection capabilities required for real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR).

What consumables are needed for operation?

Operation typically requires PCR tubes, strips, or plates compatible with the block format, along with PCR reagents such as master mix, primers, and DNA/RNA samples.

Is software included with this used unit?

As stated, any original software media found with the unit is included as a courtesy. However, the buyer is responsible for all software licensing, registration, and workstation compatibility via the manufacturer.
