• Store 5 programs in memory for instant recall and use
• 10 steps per program where each step can be a temperature, time and shaking speed
• 30-day count down timer with audible alarm and user settable Auto-Off
• RS232 I/O port for control or data collection
• Built-in data logger
• Electronic calibration
• Small compact size uses very little bench space
• 12-volt DC operation. Universal power supply provided
• UL, CSA and CE compliant

Applications

• Unattended restriction digestions or ligations at elevated temperatures then reducing temperature to 4°C automatically to reduce non-specific nuclease digestion of the target DNA
• Automatically stopping reactions by having the unit reduce sample temperature after a specific reaction time
• Producing denatured probes or single stranded DNA molecules by heating to 90°C to 95°C for a given time and rapidly reducing temperature to 4°C to prevent renaturation
• Automatic temperature/mixing profiles to grow bacteria at 37°C, then increasing temperature to induce events, and then lowering temperature to 4°C to prevent degradation
• Maintaining 14°C for ligation reactions
• Enzyme reactions and deactivations
• Maintaining 17°C for storing oocytes
• Storing reagents at 4C in 15, 50, 250, 2-250 and 500ml centrifuge tubes
• Storing samples at ice bucket temperatures without the mess
• Incubating samples at 37°C in 96-well assay plates, PCR plates, aluminum blocks for 0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 15ml centrifuge tubes, vials and test tubes
• Storing enzyme or DNA libraries at your workstation
