Performance Specifications
   Temperature Range:       The temperature range over which the thermal cycler will operate. 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Heating Rate:       The rate at which samples can be heated. 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Cooling Rate:       The rate at which samples can be cooled. 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Temperature Uniformity:       A measure of the "equalness" of temperature over the entire thermal cycler. 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Temperature Control:       The degree to which the thermal cycler can control temperature fluctuations. 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.

Block Type
   Block Type:       
   Your choices are...         
   Hot       The thermal cycler uses blocks that heat up. 
   Cold       The thermal cycler uses blocks that cool. 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Gradient Heating or Cooling?       A temperature gradient can be achieved across the heating or cooling block. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

Temperature Control Type
   Temperature Control Type:       
   Your choices are...         
   Peltier       The Peltier effect is used in many applications for the reliable cooling of sensitive high-temperature components without the need for refrigerants or compressors. Otherwise known as thermoelectric coolers, peltiers are a special type of semiconductor that function as a solid state heat pump. By applying a low voltage DC power source to one side, heat will be moved in the direction of the current (+ to - ). The heat is thus pumped from one side of the module to the other, so that one face will be cold while the opposite face will be heated. 
   Resistive       Resistive heating energy is applied to the sample through the walls of the thermal cycler.  A resistive heating element is simply a coiled wire, very similar to the filament of a light bulb or the element in an electric toaster, that gets hot when electricity is through it.  The heating element presses directly against the sides of the thermal cycler and conductive grease makes sure that heat transfers efficiently. 
   Passive Air or Water       The device does not contain a heating element.  Water or air is heated outside the thermal cycler and then added to the instrument to heat the sample. 
   Other       Other unlisted or proprietary type. 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Capacity
   Number of Wells:       The number of wells in the microplate.  Typical configurations are 96, 384 and 1536. 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Well Volume:       The volume of each individual well in the microplate.  It is equal to the total capacity of the microplate divided by the number of wells. 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

User Interface Options
   Local Interface:       
   Your choices are...         
   Analog Front Panel       The panel has analog user inputs such as potentiometers, dials, switches, for adjustment of output, ranges, etc. 
   Digital Front Panel       The panel uses digital keypads or menus for programming. 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Computer Interface?       Can be controlled or monitored remotely with a computer via interface. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Computer Interface Options:       
   Your choices are...         
   Serial Interface       A port, or interface, that can be used for serial communication, in which only one bit is transferred at a time. Examples include RS232, RS422, RS485, USB etc. 
   Parallel Interface       A channel capable of transferring more than one bit simultaneously. Examples include PC Printer Port, Centronics etc. 
   Other Computer Interface       Modem, transmitter, TTL, etc. 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Application Software Included?       For control or for monitoring the process. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Display Type:       
   Your choices are...         
   Analog Meter       The unit has an analog display such as a dial or indicator lights. 
   Digital Numerical Display       Has display for numerical values. 
   Video Display       CRT, LCD or other multi-line display. 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
