ALab™ TC1000-G-Pro & TC1000-S+ Gene Amplification Instruments
Product Detail
ALab™ TC1000-G-Pro & TC1000-S+ Gene Amplification Instruments — Peltier thermal cyclers with a 7-inch LCD touch panel, a 1×96 sample block, a 0–105 °C module range and a maximum rate of temperature change of 5 °C/Sec; the TC1000-G-Pro adds a gradient setting range of 30–105 °C.
Elegant in design, precise and accurate, with high repeatability of results, the TC1000 series is specially designed for PCR optimization. It is equipped with advanced temperature control technology, high-performance and long-lasting Peltier refrigeration and heating, and edge temperature compensation technology, with excellent temperature uniformity performance. The TC1000-S+ and TC1000-G-Pro gene amplification instruments are basic instruments in molecular laboratories, widely used in gene detection, molecular cloning, gene expression, mutagenesis and other fields, involving drug discovery, agriculture, food industry and other fields. The TC1000-G-Pro is the gradient model (gradient setting range 30–105 °C, span 1–42 °C); the TC1000-S+ has the same block, display, interfaces and power. The photo shows one TC1000 unit and is not specific to either model; the specification table below lists both.

Frequently asked questions
Which models are in the TC1000 series?
TC1000-G-Pro (Gradient gene amplification instrument) and TC1000-S+ (Isometric gene amplification instrument). Both have a 1×96 module; the specification table lists them side by side.
Which model has the gradient function?
The TC1000-G-Pro: gradient setting range 30–105 °C and gradient span 1–42 °C (enter 0 to turn off the gradient). The gradient fields of the TC1000-S+ show a dash in the specification table.
Which tubes and plates can be used?
Common PCR tubes, 8-row tubes and 96 well PCR plates without skirt edges and with semi skirt edges. The sample capacity of both models is 96×0.2mL PCR tubes, 12×0.2mL PCR-8 strips or one 0.2mL 96-well PCR plate.
What temperature range and uniformity are published?
Sample module temperature control range 0–105 °C, hot lid temperature control range 30–115 °C, temperature control accuracy ±0.1 °C, temperature uniformity (at 55 °C) ±0.2 °C and a maximum rate of temperature change of 5 °C/Sec.
Can several instruments be controlled together, and how is data transferred?
A built-in WIFI module connects the instrument to a local area network through a computer host, allowing one machine to control multiple PCR machines at the same time. The USB interface supports USB inventory/PCR data retrieval and USB flash drive and LAN software updates; 20000+ programs can be stored (USB FLASH).
What are the power supply, size and weight?
Power supply 100–120V/200–240V, 50/60HZ, 600 W. Dimensions 296×370×295 mm (W×D×H); weight 9.5 Kg. Both models have the same values.
What happens after a power failure?
Automatic power-off protection: incomplete cycles are executed automatically after power restoration, ensuring safe operation of the amplification process.
