Bio-Rad Dual 48-Well Gradient PCR System C1000 Product Introduction

The Bio-Rad C1000 Touch Dual 48-Well Gradient PCR System is a high-performance nucleic acid amplification instrument featuring modular design, specifically optimized for molecular biology research, genetic testing, and high-throughput experiments. The core model (1851148) is equipped with dual 48-well gradient blocks, enabling independent operation of two different programs to significantly enhance experimental efficiency.

Core Technical Features

1. Dynamic Temperature Gradient Function

   • Single-run capability to set 8 different temperatures (1-24°C gradient range) covering 30-100°C, precisely optimizing annealing/denaturation conditions while eliminating repetitive trials.
   • Temperature accuracy ±0.2°C (at 90°C) with uniformity ±0.4°C across all wells.

2. High-Efficiency Modular Design

   • Quick-change reaction blocks (96-well, dual 48-well, 384-well, etc.) without tools, adaptable to diverse experimental needs.
   • Semiconductor heating technology achieves rapid heating/cooling rates up to 4°C/second, reducing amplification time.

3. Intelligent Operating System

   • 8.5-inch color touchscreen supporting graphical/text/auto-programming (automatically generates protocols based on product length and enzyme type).
   • Stores 1,000 programs with USB connectivity for PCs or peripherals (e.g., barcode scanners).

4. Flexible Scalability

   • Compatible with multi-unit S1000 PCR systems (up to 4 units in parallel).
   • Upgradeable to real-time PCR functionality (requires optional optical module).

Applications

• Gene Cloning & Sequencing: Rapid screening of optimal annealing temperatures.
• Clinical Testing: Compatible with reaction volumes as low as 1μL for precious samples.
• Multiplex PCR: Independent dual-block operation supports internal control experiments.

User Benefits

The C1000 Touch delivers precision temperature control, user-friendly operation, and high scalability, meeting demands from basic research to industrial-scale production. Includes 2-year warranty and complies with GLP/FDA standards.
