The Pro Gradient Gene Amplification Instrument is a 96-well gradient thermal cycler featuring advanced Peltier heating/cooling technology (5°C/sec ramp rate), precise temperature control (±0.1°C), excellent temperature uniformity (±0.2°C), gradient capability (1-42°C span), 7-inch LCD color touchscreen, built-in Wi-Fi, USB connectivity, power failure protection, and Touchdown/Long PCR support, designed for DNA amplification in clinical diagnostic, molecular biology, and research laboratories .
Key features include a 96-well aluminum block compatible with PCR tubes, 8-strips, and 96-well plates, heated lid with automatic temperature control (30-115°C), edge temperature compensation technology eliminating "edge effect", real-time display of program progress, user password protection, one-click fast incubation for denaturation/enzyme digestion/ELISA applications, and 20,000+ program storage capacity via USB flash drive .
The TC1000-G-Pro supports standard PCR, Touchdown PCR (-9.9°C to +9.9°C range) for enhanced specificity, and Long PCR (-9min 59s to +9min 59s range) for large fragment amplification . Gradient temperature control (30-105°C range, 1-42°C span) enables rapid optimization of annealing temperatures for new primer sets in a single run—significantly accelerating assay development . The built-in Wi-Fi module allows simultaneous control of multiple PCR instruments from one computer via LAN connection .
For the clinical laboratory scientist and molecular biologist, the TC1000-G-Pro supports infectious disease detection (COVID-19, HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, HPV, influenza), genetic mutation screening (BRCA, KRAS, NRAS, EGFR), viral load monitoring (HIV, hepatitis B/C, CMV), molecular cloning, DNA sequencing preparation, forensic DNA analysis (STR amplification), and food safety pathogen detection .
Universal voltage (100-240V, 50/60Hz) enables use in laboratories worldwide without voltage conversion, while the compact footprint (280 × 370 × 250 mm) and moderate weight (9.5 kg) allow easy benchtop placement . Power failure protection ensures sample safety and automatic program recovery upon power restoration . The 2-year manufacturer warranty provides long-term reliability for routine diagnostic use .
For the patient undergoing infectious disease testing, genetic screening for hereditary cancer syndromes, or viral load monitoring for chronic infections, the Pro Gradient Gene Amplification Instrument precise temperature control, gradient optimization capability, and rapid ramp rate ensure accurate, reproducible PCR results that guide appropriate treatment decisions across clinical infectious disease, oncology, genetics, and molecular diagnostics applications .
