- 96-Well Format: The visible Corning BV thermal cycler format suits 96 x 0.2 ml tubes for routine and higher-throughput PCR work.
- Gel Electrophoresis Support: Electrophoresis systems and agarose supplies support nucleic acid separation, analysis and workflow completion.
- Laboratory Integration: Suitable for research, diagnostic, teaching and quality control laboratories using PCR-based methods.
- Consumable Procurement: Agarose powder and related packs help laboratories maintain ongoing molecular biology stock control.
How To Choose PCR Thermal Cyclers And Supporting Supplies
When selecting PCR thermal cyclers, check the block format, tube compatibility, temperature range, temperature accuracy, uniformity, heated lid function, ramping performance and interface options. Laboratories should also consider whether supporting products such as agarose, electrophoresis tanks and related consumables are needed for sample checking after amplification.
- Block Capacity: Choose a format that matches your PCR tubes, strips or plate requirements, including 96-well workflows where multiple samples are processed together.
- Temperature Performance: Review accuracy, uniformity and ramping behaviour to support consistent amplification across all wells.
- Workflow Fit: Consider how the cycler connects with PCR preparation, electrophoresis, imaging and downstream molecular biology workflows.
- Consumables: Stock agarose and related electrophoresis supplies where PCR products need to be separated and checked on gels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PCR thermal cycler used for?
A PCR thermal cycler is used to heat and cool samples through programmed cycles for DNA amplification and other molecular biology protocols.
What does a 96-well thermal cycler mean?
A 96-well thermal cycler is designed to process up to 96 sample positions, commonly using 0.2 ml tubes, strips or compatible plate formats depending on the system.
Why are agarose and electrophoresis products listed with thermal cyclers?
Agarose and electrophoresis systems are commonly used after PCR to separate and check amplified nucleic acid products, making them relevant supporting supplies for molecular biology workflows.
