Specification :

The TC-5000 gradient thermal cycler enables you to optimise your
experiments at the “ touch of a screen� , with the same mechanical features
as the TC-4000.
Proven track record
Over 20 years experience in thermal cycler design ensures that the Techne
TC-5000 encompasses reliability with all the specifications required for
advanced protocols.
Graphical display
The ‘ real-time’ graphical display shows the sample temperature profile
while the program is running, including the upper and lower limits of the
gradient. This pictorial, real-time representation means instant
visualisation of your experiment’ s status.
Touchscreen
The TC-5000 incorporates a unique user-friendly programming interface
provided by a 115 x 90mm touch-sensitive screen.
Excellent heating rate
A maximum heating rate of 3.0° C/ sec and block uniformity of ± 0.3° C at
50° C with or without a gradient...no compromise!
Wide linear gradient
The most linear 96-well gradient cycler on the market, with an amazing
range of 30° C, allowing annealing temperatures to be optimised in a
single experiment.
Gradient calculator
The gradient calculator function displays the temperature of each column
of tubes. This ensures replication of the experimental conditions.
• Gradient range 20° C to 70° C, maximum 30° C
• Quad Circuit Technology: Each block consists of 8 Peltier units,
controlled by 4 independent temperature thermistors ( control sensors)
distributed evenly across the block. This ensures that the TC-5000
exhibits the most accurately controlled linear gradient available
• Versatile block format: The truly user-friendly interchangeable block
system allows blocks to be changed in a matter of seconds without the
need for any tools ( 60 x 0.5ml, 96 x 0.2 ml, 96 x 0.2 ml for fully skirted
plates, 384-well, or flat plate for In-situ)
• Decremental/ incremental time and temperature
• Defined pressure, programmable heated lid
• PC control via Gensoft software with free upgrades available from
www.techne.com. The TC-5000 is networkable and can be linked to a
single PC together with other thermal cyclers in the Techne®
range.
