The Eppendorf Mastercycler Gradient is a thermal cycler used for PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to amplify DNA samples. It features a precise temperature control system and a gradient function that allows optimization of annealing temperatures across a range in a single run.
Used for performing Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to amplify specific DNA fragments. The gradient function is particularly useful for optimizing annealing temperatures, helping determine the best conditions for different primers.
