Benchmark TC9639 Thermal Cycler Family

The Benchmark TC9639 Thermal Cycler is a medium-to-high-throughput thermal cycler family with multi-format block flexibility and touch-screen program wizard control. The SKU is the family-anchor / group-landing entry for the TC9639 product line — directing buyers to the right member SKU based on block format (multi-format vs 384-well) and plug type (US vs EU).

Universe label note: The universe label specifies "Benchmark TC 9639 Gradient Thermal Cycler" but the available brochure does not document a gradient-capability feature explicitly named for the TC9639. The "Gradient" designation in the universe may be a labeling error, a future configuration, or an alias. Confirm at order whether "Gradient" designates a specific variant SKU not covered by the standard T5000-96 / T5000-384 member SKUs.

Common TC9639 Chassis Specifications (All Members)

Pick the Right Member SKU

Step 1: Pick the block format.

• Multi-format block (T5000-96) — for mixed tube + strip + 96-well plate workflows; supports 4-slide in-situ PCR adapter (T5000-A-IS); 96-reaction-per-cycle throughput
• 384-well block (T5000-384) — for 384-well plate workflows; 4× per-cycle throughput vs 96-well; no in-situ adapter compatibility

Step 2: Pick the plug type.

• US plug (T5000-96 / T5000-384) — for North American 115 V outlets
• EU plug — for international 220–240 V outlets (Schuko, UK BS 1363, AS/NZS 3112, other regional plugs — confirm at order)

Application Profile

See member SKU pages (T5000-96, T5000-384) for complete chassis specifications, application profiles (medium-to-high-throughput PCR, multi-format laboratory standardization, method-development PCR, educational laboratory programs, in-situ PCR workflows, multi-investigator shared facilities, field-deployment workflows), and pricing.

Ordering & Configuration

Buyers landing on this group-landing page should:

1. Identify workflow format needs (multi-format vs 384-well)
2. Identify plug-type requirement (US vs EU)
