Key Features

Compact and Low Cost

One of the smallest and most affordable thermal cyclers on the market. Weighing ~5 kg with a footprint of just 33 × 17 cm, it's perfect for labs with limited space.

Available with interchangeable blocks:

FTC3/02: 25 × 0.2 mL microtubes

FTC3/05: 20 × 0.5 mL microtubes

Fast Peltier-Based Cycling

Efficient thermal transfer with rapid heating (up to 3.6 °C/s) and cooling (up to 2 °C/s) using advanced Peltier elements.

Heated Lid with Selectable Temperature

Adjustable from 100–115 °C, the heated lid minimizes condensation and reduces the risk of sample evaporation. It can be enabled or disabled as needed, making it suitable for a range of PCR tubes and strip types.

Unparalleled Block Uniformity

Delivers consistent results with ±0.1 °C block uniformity at 50 °C, ensuring optimal reproducibility across samples.

Wide Temperature Range

From 4 °C to 99 °C with precision control (±0.1 °C), supporting even demanding PCR protocols.
