Bio-Rad iCycler

This used Bio-Rad iCycler thermal cycler has long been a staple in molecular biology laboratories for standard and gradient PCR applications. Known for its rugged design and dependable thermal performance, the iCycler features a 96 well format with gradient functionality that allows researchers to test a range of annealing temperatures within a single experiment. Its intuitive interface and program storage capacity make it simple for multiple lab members to run their own protocols without extensive retraining. The instrument's heated lid design helps prevent condensation and evaporation during long cycling protocols, supporting more consistent and reproducible amplification results. Many laboratories still favor the iCycler for its solid mechanical reliability, and units on the used market often continue to perform well after many years of active service. Its straightforward operation makes it an approachable instrument for both experienced researchers and students new to PCR technique. This thermal cycler supports a wide range of applications including genotyping, cloning preparation, sequencing setup, and general diagnostic amplification work. It represents a practical and affordable option for laboratories seeking to expand PCR capacity or replace an aging unit without the expense of purchasing new equipment. The unit offered here has been cleaned, tested, and confirmed to be in good working order prior to listing.
