  TC3000 Features and Benefits
  Thermal Cycler software (653kb)
  Thermal Cycler Validation

  The TC-3000 Thermal Cycler is unrivalled as a reliable low cost personal cycler.  Designed for research and teaching, the TC-3000 offers the ultimate in low cost solutions where ease of use is high on the priority list.  It has numerous applications in Molecular Biology and Diagnostic laboratories and is suitable for use with diagnostic kits.
   It has been designed for the individual; priced to be inexpensive enough so anyone can own one. The TC-3000's high speed allows a typical 30 cycle program to be completed in around 1 hour, enabling the operator to complete more work in a day.
   Using advanced peltier technology, the TC-3000 is capable of  heating/cooling rates better than 2.0 - 3.0°C/second (average cooling and heating) and using a high tolerance thermistor sensor to give a temperature stability of ±0.1°C and a block uniformity of ±0.5°C.
   One of TC-3000's many features is incremental/decremental segment hold time. This allows the user to increase or decrease the hold time of a given segment hold with each cycle. Use incrementally on 'extension' for techniques such as Long DNA and RAPD to allow sufficient time for the increasing quantity of DNA to extend. Use decremental feature on 'denaturation' to allow initial highly specific denaturation and then less time with each cycle at 95°C so as to maintain the enzyme's (taq) half-life.

  The new gradient cycler, the TC-3000G completes the Techne range of personal cyclers. The world’s smallest gradient cycler, the TC-3000G will hold half a 96-well plate, in a horizontal format so that it offers 8 columns for temperature optimization and 6 rows for optimizing reagents such as MgCl2 and primer concentrations. Annealing temperatures can be optimized over a 15°C gradient between the temperatures of 20 and 80°C.

• All the features of the popular TC-3000 and...
  
  Extra capacity: The footprint remains the same, only 561cm², but the capacity increases to 48 x 0.2ml or 30 x 0.5ml tubes.
  
  Adjustable Heated lid: The heated lid can now be adjusted for use with PCR tubes or 48-well plates sealed with sealing mats or heat seals.
  
  Rapid heating rate: Utilising the latest Peltier technology the TC-3000X has a heating ramp rate of 3.3ºC/sec and a 2.0ºC/sec cooling rate.

• All the features of the popular TC-3000 and TC-3000X plus...

Gradient: A gradient of up to 15^oC between the temperatures of 20 and 80^oC can be set, allowing any protocol to be optimised within a single experiment.

New Software: Enables a gradient to be added to any temperature step of the program.

Gradient Calculator: The gradient calculator function displays the temperature for each of the 8 columns, ensuring easy replication of thermal conditions.
