Compact and easy-to-handle thermal cyclers for PCR
The compact PCR thermal cyclers are suitable for DNA amplification in high-throughput screening, genotyping or cloning. The thermal cyclers can be intuitively programmed with a touch screen and deliver repeatable results with every run.
Features include a clear, responsive touch screen, secure and user-specific programming, an adjustable heated lid and active sample cooling for stronger and more specific amplification.
A program wizard generates a protocol specific to your sequence in seconds, allowing you to quickly optimise amplification of new samples. The instrument stores up to 1000 reports for later viewing and offers an intuitive HD Android™ tablet user interface. Personal settings can be stored on a USB stick, which can then also be used to log in.
Single block system with a capacity of 96 or 384 wells. The 96 block can be used with 0.2 ml PCR tubes, with 0.2 ml PCR strips or a 96-well plate. The 384 block is suitable for 384-well plates with a capacity of max. 40 µl per well.
