In our lab at the NRC, we decided on a Coy TempCycler (COY Lab
Products, Ann Arbor Michigan (313-663-1230)) for several
reasons e.g. cost.. approx $3000 Cnd (Ican't remember exactly), methods
of heating and cooling (thermo-electric with servo motors which
lift the cooler/heater to the block),
the lack of requirement for a dedicated ("Haake-type") cooling bath
for the cooling cycle, and we liked the specs for heat/cool rates.
It has a fair number of cycles.. ours has 8 programmable profiles
which can hold up to 9999 cycles from 1 sec to 99 hr (they've just
increased this with the new model). I can't say much more other than
it works...
Hope this helps...
cheers,
John,
