Molecular Biology & Genomics
Molecular biology and genomics work depends on a chain of instruments that move a sample from raw tissue to a readable sequence. This category sits within the wider Labs, Biotech & Pharma range and covers the equipment behind that workflow, from nucleic acid extraction and purification through amplification, separation and high throughput sequencing. Laboratories setting up a new genomics bench, or replacing an ageing thermal cycler, will find the core platforms here alongside the supporting kit that keeps a run reproducible. Every listing comes from a verified seller, and financing is available on qualifying items so a full workflow can be built in stages.

Molecular Biology and Genomics Equipment Types
The genomics workflow breaks down into distinct instrument classes, each handling one step from sample to sequence. Browse the main groups below to reach the machines that fit your molecular biology protocol.
PCR Machines & Thermal Cyclers
Thermal cyclers drive the heating and cooling steps that amplify target DNA, and are available as standard endpoint, gradient and real time qPCR formats. Block capacity, ramp rate and multiplexing channels are the specifications that decide which unit suits a given assay.
Sequencers & Ion Sequencing Systems
Sequencing platforms read the base order of amplified or captured libraries, spanning short read, ion semiconductor and benchtop next generation systems. Read length, run time and per run output separate the entry level benchtop units from higher throughput production instruments.
DNA / RNA Extraction Systems
Extraction systems release and isolate nucleic acids from cells, tissue or blood using spin column, magnetic bead or automated cartridge chemistries. Throughput and the range of validated sample types determine whether a manual or a walkaway automated unit is the better fit.
Electrophoresis Systems & Power Supplies
Gel and capillary rigs separate nucleic acids and proteins by size and charge, paired with programmable power supplies that hold constant voltage or current. Tank format, gel dimensions and voltage range are the deciding specifications for a given separation.
Automated Nucleic Acid Purification Systems
These walkaway platforms clean up extracted nucleic acids and prepared libraries with minimal hands on time, typically using magnetic bead chemistry on a deck of consumables. Sample capacity per run and the breadth of preloaded protocols set the practical throughput.
PCR Prep & Automation Systems
Reaction setup platforms pipette master mix and template into plates to remove the variability of manual assembly ahead of amplification. Plate format compatibility and dead volume are the figures to check when matching one to an existing thermal cycler fleet.
Hybridization Ovens
Temperature controlled ovens that rotate or rock membranes and slides through hybridisation and washing steps. Even heat and gentle motion keep probe binding consistent across a blot or array.
Isoelectric Focusing Systems
Electrophoresis systems that separate proteins along a pH gradient to the point where their net charge is zero. They resolve isoforms and charge variants that size based methods miss.
Magnetic Particle Processors
Automated platforms that move magnetic beads through bind, wash and elute steps to purify nucleic acids or proteins. Transferring the beads rather than the liquid gives clean, repeatable recovery across a plate.

Why Choose Machinery Masters
Verified Sellers Only
Every seller is verified before a single listing goes live. Machinery Masters also reviews listings for accuracy, so buyers can commit to high value machinery with confidence.
Global Reach
Listings come from sellers across Europe, North America, and beyond. That reach widens the options past any regional dealer network, and it is often the only way to find discontinued models in good condition.
Flexible Financing Options
Qualifying listings carry financing through partner providers. Terms are shown directly on eligible product pages, spreading the cost instead of draining working capital in one hit.
Direct Seller Contact
No broker sits between the buyer and the seller. Ask about service history, arrange inspections, and negotiate directly with the person who actually knows the machine.
Applications and Uses
These instruments underpin research and applied testing wherever nucleic acids need to be read or quantified. The settings below show where a full genomics workflow typically operates.
Clinical and public health genomics
Diagnostic and reference laboratories use these platforms to detect pathogens, screen for variants and support outbreak surveillance. Reproducibility and validated sample types matter as much as raw throughput in this setting.
Academic and translational research
University and institute laboratories run extraction, amplification and sequencing to study gene expression, mutation and regulation. A shared core facility often houses the higher cost sequencers while individual benches keep their own cyclers.
Agricultural and veterinary genotyping
Breeding programmes and animal health labs genotype large sample batches to track traits and disease resistance. Automated extraction and reaction setup keep pace with the sample volumes these projects generate.
Biopharmaceutical development
Cell line characterisation, plasmid verification and quality control all rely on sequencing and electrophoresis. Consistent instrument performance supports the documentation required through development and manufacturing.
Benefits from Machinery Masters
Sourcing a full workflow through the marketplace keeps the whole chain of instruments in one place.
01
One category for the sample to sequence chain
Extraction, purification, amplification, separation and sequencing all sit together in this genomics category. A laboratory can plan a complete bench rather than chasing each instrument through separate suppliers.
02
Weigh a refurbished platform against buying new
A serviced previous generation sequencer or thermal cycler frees budget for reagents, and each listing sets out condition so the trade off against a new unit is clear.
03
Speak to the seller before you commit
You contact the seller directly to confirm run history, installed options and calibration on used instruments. That direct line removes the guesswork of buying sight unseen.
Frequently Asked Questions About Molecular Biology & Genomics
Ask for the recent service record, the total run count and confirmation that the heated block or flow cell path passes a self test. On a real time cycler, verify the optical channels still calibrate cleanly, and on a sequencer confirm the software licence and reagent supply are still supported. A seller who can show a recent verification run gives you the clearest picture of condition.
Start from the number of samples you process in a typical day and whether that arrives in steady flow or large batches. Manual spin column kits suit low volumes, while automated magnetic bead platforms earn their place once you are running dozens of samples at a time. Check the validated sample types too, since blood, tissue and swabs each need supported chemistry.
Confirm the block or deck accepts your plate format, whether that is 96 well, 384 well or strip tubes, before you buy. Automated systems also depend on specific tips and cartridges, so check those are still in production. Matching consumables to instruments avoids costly adapters and protocol rewrites later.
Most benchtop platforms run from a standard mains supply, but larger sequencers may need a dedicated circuit and stable ambient temperature. Allow bench depth for cabling and airflow, and plan for an uninterruptible power supply on any instrument running long unattended jobs. The listing or seller can confirm the exact power draw and clearance.
Financing is offered on qualifying listings, which lets a laboratory spread the cost of a sequencer or automation platform rather than paying upfront. Eligibility is shown on the individual listing where it applies. You can raise it with the seller when you make your enquiry to see how it fits your budget.
