The VWR® PCR thermal cycler XT⁹⁶ combines industry-inspired innovation with the reliable quality of German manufacturing – housing both in a compact, low noise ventilation design that fits on virtually any bench top. For optimising PCR's, the XT⁹⁶ is also available with a gradient function.
The VWR® PCR thermal cycler XT⁹⁶ offers a powerful, yet easy to use software interface, as well as a host of other innovative features.

• Flexible lid: Heated lid automatically adjusts to fit every PCR tube, creating pressure that prevents sample evaporation, to ensure reproducible results in every run
• Innovative block design with reduced mass allows highest temperature uniformity, and heating and cooling rates of up to max. 4 °C/s
• Precise temperature control for shortest run times, without over- and under-shoots, for best PCR results
• Gradient function (optional): Eight advanced control circuits and Peltier elements, providing an almost linear gradient – ideal for PCR optimisation
• Sharp, clear 7’’ TFT display, combined with intuitive software, simplifies use and suits all user expectations
• Intuitive programming: PCR-Wizard for convenient three-step, two-step, and gradient PCR programming
• Quick set-up: Select one of the ‘Recently used methods’ to accelerate your PCR run
• Data control: Up to 2× USB, 1× Ethernet (MS Windows®, Linux), remote control and monitoring of instruments via PC software, MP3 signal tones, and primary/satellite
• System tools at the touch of a button: Graphical or tabular programming, 'Global Program Ramp', 'Tube Control', online help, 'Quick Start' function and 'Power Fail Denaturation' for auto-restart after power failure
• XTender⁹⁶ is a fully equipped PCR Thermal cycler without a Touch screen, the ideal device controlled by a PC or from another XT⁹⁶ Thermal cycler
