Benchmark MultiCycler Multi-Block Thermal Cyclers are designed for high-throughput labs that need flexibility, speed, and precision. With dual or triple independently controlled blocks, these cyclers support simultaneous runs at different conditions — ideal for multi-user and method-development environments.
Whether you choose the 248 dual block or 332 triple block model, the MultiCycler delivers unmatched performance with ultra-fast ramp rates, exceptional temperature accuracy, and intuitive touchscreen control. Gradient capability on each block and an integrated Program Wizard streamline complex protocol creation.
Features:
- Independent dual (2 x 48) or triple (3 x 32) block configurations
- 10" full-color touch screen interface with adjustable viewing angle
- Gradient cycling on each block — 8 independent temperatures per block
- Auto-adjusting heated lid to prevent evaporation
- Fast ramp rates: up to 7.5°C/sec heating and 6°C/sec cooling
- High precision: temperature accuracy and uniformity to ±0.2°C
- User-friendly Program Wizard with USB storage and transfer support
- Password protection for secure multi-user operation
- PCR strip tube compatible (4x8 or 6x8 formats)
- 2-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty
Advanced Control & Gradient Flexibility
The full-color 10” touchscreen provides quick access to saved protocols, editable cycling profiles, and run status — all with real-time monitoring. Gradient functionality allows precise temperature variation across a block, perfect for optimizing annealing temperatures. Each block operates independently, allowing simultaneous but distinct protocols to be run side by side.
