Mini Compact Thermal Cycler
Product Code : EL-TC-11100
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A compact Peltier thermal cycler for 24 x 0.2 mL tubes with block accuracy and uniformity of +/-0.3 degrees C at 55 degrees C, a 4 to 99.9 degrees C range, maximum 5 degrees C per second heating, a 105 degrees C heated lid, RS232 interface and 100 password-protected program slots.
The fastest ramp in this family is here: 5 degrees C per second heating and 4 cooling, by Peltier. Ramp rate sets the total run time more than any other figure, so for a department running back-to-back classes this is the unit that fits most practicals into a timetable.
The programming features are unusually complete for a compact machine. Segment time or temperature can be automatically increased or decreased over successive cycles, which the listing notes is useful for touchdown applications or for extending annealing times as enzyme is depleted. Temperature can be controlled by block sensing or by auto-calculation of sample temperature. Up to 99 cycles, 9 segments per cycle and a 99 minute 59 second maximum hold per step cover any standard protocol.
Password-protected memory holding 100 programs is worth noting in a shared teaching laboratory: a validated protocol cannot be casually overwritten by the next class. An RS232 computer interface allows logging, though it is an older standard and may need a USB adapter on current computers.
The block specification is +/-0.3 degrees C accuracy and uniformity at 55 degrees C, slightly looser than the other cyclers here, across a 4 to 99.9 degrees C range. Capacity is 24 x 0.2 mL tubes on the 0.2 mL block unit, the heated lid runs at 105 degrees C, and the unit is 8-3/5 x 11-1/5 x 7 inches at 7.1 lb.

This listing publishes a full specification. Confirm the supply voltage before ordering: the published electrical specification is a 115 to 120 V nominal supply, which is not the Indian mains standard; ask whether a 220 to 240 V, 50 Hz version is available for your destination. Note the RS232 computer interface is an older standard and may require an adapter. The listing refers to 0.2 mL block units, implying other block formats exist; ask which are available and which is supplied.
