Apollo ATC201 thermal cycler.
The ATC 201 thermal cycler is a very economical, sub ambient high throughput thermal cycler.
The ATC 201 is provided with a unique CombiBlock which can accommodate 96x0.2ml or 48x0.5ml tubes.
This Peltier driven device exhibits the same heating and cooling rates and block uniformity specification as more expensive models, and temperature can be controlled using either block or simulated tube control.
Easy-to-use programming is accomplished via the large black and white touch screen LCD and the spring loaded hot lid ensures excellent sealing of both 0.2 and 0.5ml tubes.
Apollo ATC401 gradient thermal cycler (without block).
The ATC 401 thermal cycler is a high performance, sub ambient, gradient thermal cycler with interchangeable blocks that offers all the programming capability you will need from a thermal cycler.
Features in the 401 include the unique helically controlled lid, the iQ-Therm dynamic temperature control modules and the largest full colour, touch screen LCD currently available.
The ATC 401 will accept the full range of interchangeable block and temperature control options and is gradient compatible.
The ATC 401 offers a highly sophisticated thermal cycler at a very affordable price.
