With one of the fastest aluminium blocks on the market, the Techne TC-Plus thermal cycler has been shown to contribute to significant savings in PCR reaction times by using faster
ramp rates, modified programs and modified reaction mixes. Time savings are an advantage in many research labs and the Techne TC-Plus is the ideal tool for use when optimising for
fast PCR protocols. This thermal cycler offers flexible programming and rapid block ramp rates of up to 5ºC per second. Comparing the same PCR program on the TC-Plus and the slower TC-512 gave a time saving of around 30 minutes simply by using faster ramping (1 hour
compared with 1 hour 30 minutes). There were no appreciable differences in yield or sensitivity between the two thermal cyclers.
