A PCR thermal cycler (thermocycler) is a laboratory instrument used to amplify specific DNA or RNA targets by cycling samples through precisely controlled temperature steps for denaturation, annealing and extension.
It is the central platform in PCR workflows for infectious disease diagnostics, genetics, oncology and research applications.
You can describe it on your page like this:
Provides programmable temperature profiles to run standard PCR and, depending on model, real‑time qPCR assays.
Contains a thermal block that accepts PCR tubes or plates and rapidly heats and cools samples with high accuracy and uniformity.
Used for a wide range of temperature‑sensitive applications including nucleic acid amplification, rapid diagnostics and certain enzymatic reactions.
Real‑time PCR thermal cyclers add integrated optics and software to monitor fluorescence during each cycle for quantitative analysis.
