eATC Automatic Thermal Cycler

Ybotech eATC Automatic Thermal Cycler is an innovative thermal cycler instrument designed for the automated PCR system. This instrument uses an electric heating lid controlled by the PC protocol, which can coordinate the automated system to run the PCR experiment program and provide a wealth of status information to meet the multi-dimensional operation of the robotic arm. At the same time, eATC adopts a sturdy and compact design, a separate liquid cooling unit and a remote operation display, which can be easily integrated into an automated experimental system. The external liquid cooling unit can be placed arbitrarily to avoid affecting the temperature of the internal experimental space.
