Applications

• Unattended restriction digestions or ligations at elevated temperatures then reducing temperature to 4°C automatically to reduce non-specific nuclease digestion of target DNA
• Automatically stopping reactions by having the unit reduce sample temperature after a specific reaction time
• Producing denatured probes or single stranded DNA molecules by heating to 90°C/95°C for a given time and rapidly reducing temperature to 4°C to prevent renaturation
• Automatic temperature profiles to grow bacteria at 37°C, then increasing temperature to induce events, and then lowering temperature to 4°C to prevent degradation
• Maintaining 14°C for ligation reactions
• Enzyme reactions and deactivations
• Maintaining 17°C for storing oocytes
• Storing reagents at 4C in 15, 50, 250, and 500ml centrifuge tubes
• Storing samples at ice bucket temperatures without the mess
• Incubating samples at 37°C in 96-well assay plates or in aluminum blocks holding 0.2, 0.5 and 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes, vials, and test tubes
• Storing enzyme or DNA libraries at your workstation
• Freezing and storing most any sample at your workstation
