Compact Thermal Cycler
Product Code : EL-TC-11098
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A compact thermal cycler just over 15.7 cm wide taking 32 x 0.2 mL tubes, with a 4.3 inch colour touch screen, 0 to 99.9 degrees C control range, +/-0.25 degrees C uniformity and accuracy, 100 or more stored programs and resume after power failure. Weight 2.9 kg.
Resume after power failure is the feature that matters most in Indian school conditions, and this listing states it explicitly as a program function. A PCR run interrupted at cycle 20 of 35 is a wasted set of reagents and a wasted lesson; a cycler that picks up where it stopped is not a luxury where supply is intermittent.
The block is described as low thermal mass, which allows fast uniform cycling, with maximum rates of 3 degrees C per second heating and 2 cooling. The temperature control range is 0 to 99.9 degrees C with uniformity and accuracy both at +/-0.25 degrees C, and control can be set to simulated tube or block, adjustable for sample volume. Simulated tube control is the more accurate approach for small volumes, since it models the sample rather than the metal around it.
Programming is handled on a 4.3 inch full-colour touch screen the listing describes as exceptionally easy to navigate, with time and temperature increment and decrement, pause, skip, and storage for over 100 programs. The listing notes these are features typically found only on larger units.
Capacity is 32 x 0.2 mL tubes, the lid is heated with a user-adjustable temperature, and the whole unit is 15.7 x 23.2 x 18.2 cm at 2.9 kg, so it takes very little bench space and can be moved between rooms by one person.

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. The maximum cycle count and the hold time per step are not stated. Note that the original listing has supplier boilerplate running into the middle of its specification block, a data defect on the source page rather than a specification.
