Bio-Rad C1000 Touch Thermal Cycler

Bio-Rad is a long-standing leader in the life science research and clinical diagnostics markets. Originally founded in Berkeley, California, the brand has become synonymous with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology and protein analysis. The C1000 Touch series represents their high-end modular thermal cycling platform, utilized by researchers globally for DNA amplification and real-time PCR detection.

While the company’s heritage is rooted in American innovation, its manufacturing footprint is global. High-precision instruments like thermal cyclers are typically assembled in major logistics and tech hubs, with Singapore serving as a primary manufacturing site for their instrumentation alongside facilities in the United States and Europe. Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. remains an independent, publicly traded entity, maintaining full control over its brand portfolio without being a subsidiary of a larger conglomerate.
