Description

The Bio-Rad DNA Engine Tetrad 2 Peltier Thermal Cycler (Model ALS1296G refers to the associated 96-well Alpha unit block) is a versatile, multi-bay thermal cycler designed for high-throughput PCR applications in molecular biology. It features four independent bays, each supporting swappable sample blocks (e.g., 96-well format), powered by precise Peltier heat pumps for rapid and accurate temperature control. This system allows simultaneous running of up to four different protocols, making it ideal for labs requiring flexibility and efficiency in DNA amplification tasks.
