Techne TC-3000G - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
The TC-3000G provides the researcher with the means of accurately controlling the temperature profile
of samples. It has many scientific applications, including PCR
1 and sequencing. The unit can cycle samples
between 4°C and 99°C.
The TC-3000G is programmed by means of an integral keypad and LCD display. A program, which can
be recalled from memory, consists of:
• a series of specified temperatures in °C.
• the times for which each specified temperature will be held (Hold Times).
• the desired heating or cooling rates, in °C/sec, between each specified temperature.
• optional gradient of temperatures across the heater block.
• optional instructions as to whether the times and/or the temperatures are to increase or
decrease when a cycle is repeated.
The memory can store up to 80 programs.
Before using the thermal cycler, make sure you have read this manual carefully. If there is any doubt
relating to the proper use of this equipment, the staff at Bibby Scientific Ltd or your supplier will be happy
to assist you.
