Bio-Rad, C1000 Touch, PCR Equipment

Description:

The C1000 Touch thermal cycler offers a large color touch screen for easy programming. It is intended to amplify target deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) in a clinical specimen using heat-stable polymerase enzymes and cycles of repeated heating and cooling (i.e., thermal cycling) to replicate a product [i.e., a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)]. Amplified product is detected and/or identified using oligonucleotide markers as it is produced (i.e., in real-time) or at the end-point. This fully modular platform is able to accommodate different throughput needs with easily interchangeable reaction modules that swap in seconds without tools.
