Product information
Gradient PCR in 96-Well Blocks for Molecular Biology Laboratories
The Thermocycler ETC821 is designed for precise DNA amplification in molecular biology research laboratories. With its universal 96-well block, the device supports all common high-profile PCR plates, strips, and individual tubes. The integrated gradient function enables rapid optimization of annealing temperatures, making it the ideal tool for academic research and routine diagnostic applications.
This model impresses with 12 gradient zones across a range of 30°C to 99°C and fast heating and cooling rates. To ensure result quality, the condition of the Peltier elements is continuously monitored, while the system effectively prevents unspecific amplification. Thanks to its large color display and low noise level, the compact thermocycler offers a high level of operating comfort in everyday laboratory use.

What is the Thermocycler ETC821 primarily used for?
The device is used for DNA amplification via polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Thanks to the gradient function, it is particularly suitable for determining the optimal annealing temperature for new primer pairs in research.
What technical features does the gradient function offer?
The ETC821 has 12 gradient zones within a temperature range of 30°C to 99°C. The adjustable difference ranges between 1°C and 42°C, allowing for highly fine-tuned experimental series.
Which laboratory consumables is the block suitable for?
The integrated 96-well block is specifically designed for all common "high profile" PCR plates as well as PCR strips and individual tubes, enabling high flexibility with varying sample volumes.
How does the ETC821 differ from other devices in terms of operational safety?
One special feature is the continuous assessment of the condition of the Peltier elements during operation. This guarantees consistent thermal performance and protects against unexpected failures during important cycles.
What maintenance or site requirements are there?
With compact dimensions of 288 x 427 x 227 mm, the device requires little floor space. The low noise level ensures a pleasant working environment, while the 12-month warranty provides additional peace of mind.
