Eppendorf Cycler History
Remember the time when heating and cooling was done by tap water? When samples needed to be secured by mineral oil? Or when 2 °C/s ramp rates were super-fast?PCR machines have a history and the technical progress over the last nearly 30 years is impressing. Today, gradient functions, different heating ramps, heated lids, or connectivity are standard.
