BIO-RAD Alpha Unit block assembly for DNA engine systems PTC0200**Unit has been tested to specifications. Has slight cosmetic blemishes from normal use. See photos for further details.Moto Alpha units are equipped with motorized heated lids and are designed for automation, low-volume cycling, and high-throughput applications. The sealing pressure and opening angle are set with the software and may be controlled remotely from a PC. Moto Alpha Units: moto alpha units are available single block formats only 96-well single blocks are gradient capable. 96-well: holds 96 x 0.2 ml. tubes, one 96-well plate or up to 30 x 0.5ml. tube. 384-Well flat block: holds one 384-well plate, holds microarrays, biochips, or flat-bottom vessels. DNA Engine Cycler: The popular single-bay DNA Engine cycler, the namesake of the product line, revolutionized thermal cycling when introduced in 1994. The DNA engine cycler was the first to provide a high level of thermal performance with swappable blocks and an elegant compact design. The DNA engine cycler can be converted to a DNA engine Opticon 2 system dedicated to two-color real time PCR, or it can be used with the swappable chromo 4 four color real time PCR detector.SpecificationsSample CapacityDepends on Alpha unit used (holds 1)Speed of rampingUp to 3C/secTemperature Range0-105CTemperature Accuracy+-0.3CTemperature uniformity+-0.4CInput power100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz, 400 W maxDisplay20 x 4 alphanumeric LCDMemory400 typical programsThermal gradient accuracy+-0.3CThermal gradient differential range1-24CAdditional Prep Fees May Apply
