The MJ Research PTC-200 DNA Engine, also now called the Bio-Rad PTC 200 is a reliable peltier thermocycler that boasts of a polished and robust design. The Hot Bonnet heated lid fitted into the PTC 200 Thermo Cycler controls pressure and height. As a result, various plastic wares can be accommodated by the PTC-200 system. This feature enables oil-free cycling as well. The Peltier-effect heat pumps of the system facilitate repeated cycling using the PTC-200 thermal cycler.
MJ Research PTC-200 thermal cyclers are equipped with interchangeable sample blocks and heat pump assemblies which allow users to easily change formats in between runs while maintaining NIST-traceable accuracy. Single control units of this model can also be supplied with different alpha modules and alpha blocks to increase functionality. Users can achieve thermal control with this instrument by using either a block-in sample probe or calculated methods. Block controls enhance compatibility with protocols while calculated sample temperature controls highly boost speed and accuracy.
