Bio Rad Dual Block Well DNA Engine Thermal Cycler Model: ALD1244 and PTC0200**This Unit has been tested to specifications. Has slight cosmetic blemishes from normal use and Right side Gap (Does not affect functionality). See photos for further detailsThe Biorad Dual 48 Well DNA Engine Thermal Cycler utilizes interchangeable samples blocks and heat pump assemblies which allow the user to change format easily between runs while retaining NIST-traceable accuracy. The dual 48 well block allows two independent programs to be run at the same time. This Thermal cyclers precise Peltier-effect heat pumps deliver a full temperature range of 0-100'C electronically. This compact instrument offers speedy ramping rates of up to 3.0/sec. in models that hold 0.2ml. tubes or V-well plates. The DNA engine thermal cycler has unparalleled temperature homogeneity of +-0.4'C within 30 seconds of arrival at 60'C for all standards models. This Biorad machine offers a large memory and amiable software that allows control over virtually every thermal parameter. 48/48 Dual Alpha unit: Holds 2 x 48 x 0.2 ml tubes or half platesSpecificationsThermal range5 to 105C, but no more than 30C below ambient temperature (4 to 100C for the Slide Chambers Alpha unit)Thermal accuracy0.3C of programmed target at 90C, NIST-traceableThermal uniformity0.4C well-to-well within 30 seconds of arrival at 90C (for most Alpha units; see specifications for individual Alpha units)Ramping speedUp to 3C/sec for all single- and dual-block Alpha units;up to 1.2C/sec for the Slide Chambers Alpha unit.Line voltageDNA Engine cycler: 100240 VAC rms (no adjustment needed among voltages within these ranges)Frequency5060 Hz single phasePowerDNA Engine cycler: 850 W maximumFusesTwo 6.3 A, 250 V, 5 x 20 mmDisplaysOne 20 x 4 LCD alphanumeric displayParallel1x25 -pin 8-bit parallel interface printer portPortsOne 25-pin 8-bit parallel interface printer portOne 9-pin RS-232 serial port for printer or remote useOne IEEE-488 bidirectional general purpose interface busMemory400 typical programs in up to 12 individual foldersAccuracy+0.3C of programmed target at end columns, 30 seconds after the timer starts for the gradient step, NIST traceableColumn uniformity+0.4C, well to well within column, within 30 seconds of reaching target temperatureGradient calculator accuracy+0.4C of actual well temperatureLowest programmable temp30CHighest programmable temp105CAdditional Prep Fees May Apply
