Discover the Benchmark TC-96 Turbo 2D Gradient Thermal Cycler, the latest innovation in PCR technology, expertly built for high-speed performance, precise temperature control, and maximum flexibility. Featuring ultra-fast ramp rates of up to 9 °C/sec, dual-axis gradient optimisation, and an advanced, user-friendly touchscreen interface, this thermal cycler is ideal for high-throughput laboratories, clinical diagnostics, and complex molecular biology applications.

• Ultra-Fast Ramp Rates(up to 9 °C/sec): This device delivers exceptionally fast ramp rates of up to 9 °C per second, allowing laboratories to complete thermal cycling runs significantly faster. Its proprietary temperature control algorithm ensures each cycle is precise, with no overshooting or lag, which improves accuracy and reproducibility.
• Dual-Dimensional Gradient Control: Unlike standard thermal cyclers that offer one-dimensional gradients, the Benchmark TC-96 features a true two-dimensional gradient across both rows and columns. This enables simultaneous optimisation of both annealing and denaturation temperatures in a single run, making it ideal for challenging templates such as GC-rich DNA.
• Intuitive Programming and Multi-User Functionality: The instrument is equipped with a large, intuitive 10-inch touchscreen that simplifies programming and operation. It includes a program wizard to guide users through protocol setup and supports storage for up to 30,000 unique user-defined protocols. Multi-user access with password protection is also supported, which is particularly useful in regulated or shared lab environments.
• Broad Consumables Compatibility: The Benchmark TC-96 is compatible with a wide range of consumables, including 0.1 mL and 0.2 mL tubes as well as non-skirted 96-well plates. An automated heated lid adjusts itself to fit different tube heights, which eliminates the risk of condensation and ensures consistent performance without the need for manual adjustments.
• Versatile and Reliable Performance: With adjustable ramp rates, this device can be tailored to specific applications such as cloning, gene expression, or qPCR preparation.
