Full item description
Condition, details & included items
This listing is for a MJ Research DNA Engine Tetrad PTC-225 thermal cycler base unit. The PTC-225 accepts up to four hot-swappable Alpha Block modules, allowing independent or simultaneous PCR runs. It was removed from a decommissioned lab where it was reported fully functional; however, we lack the proprietary DC power supply to test further. All buttons are responsive, and no damage is observed beyond normal wear.
