Key Features

1. 96-Well PCR Capacity

Supports up to 96 × 0.2 mL samples in a single run. Compatible with:

● 96-well PCR plates

● 0.2 mL PCR tubes

● 8 × 12 PCR strip tubes

● 12 × 8 PCR strip tubes

This provides flexibility for routine PCR experiments and different sample formats.

2. Gradient Function for PCR Optimization

The WPCR-96 features a 1–35°C gradient set span, allowing different temperatures to be applied across the block during the same program.

This function helps laboratories optimize annealing temperatures and establish suitable PCR conditions more efficiently.

3. Fast Heating and Cooling

● Maximum heating rate: 5°C/s

● Maximum cooling rate: 4°C/s

● Average heating rate: 4°C/s

● Average cooling rate: 3°C/s

Fast temperature transitions help improve PCR workflow efficiency.

4. Precise Temperature Control

Advanced semiconductor technology and PID control provide stable thermal cycling performance.

● Block temperature accuracy: ±0.2°C

● Block temperature uniformity: ±0.25°C

● Gradient temperature accuracy: ±0.3°C

● Temperature display resolution: 0.1°C

5. 5-Inch Touchscreen Operation

The 5-inch touchscreen interface allows users to easily:

● Create PCR programs

● Edit temperature steps

● Set cycle parameters

● Save protocols

Monitor operating status

The visual interface simplifies daily laboratory operation.

6. Large Program Storage Capacity

The system can store more than 10,000 programs, making it suitable for laboratories managing multiple PCR protocols.

Program and data information can also be saved using a USB flash drive.

7. Long PCR and Touchdown PCR Functions

The WPCR-96 supports programmable:

● Time increasing/decreasing

● Temperature increasing/decreasing

These functions provide additional flexibility for Long PCR and Touchdown PCR protocols.

8. Automatic Heated Lid Control

The heated lid helps reduce sample condensation during PCR cycling.

The lid can automatically turn off when:

● The sample temperature is below 30°C

● The PCR program has finished

9. Compact and Quiet Design

With dimensions of only 200 × 300 × 170 mm and a weight of approximately 4.5 kg, the WPCR-96 has a compact benchtop footprint.

Its low-noise design makes it suitable for routine laboratory environments.
