Specifikations

  • Triple-Block Flexibility
    Three distinct PCR protocols can be run at the same time, perfect for multi-user environments and diverse experiments with low samples.
  • Fast Gradient Optimization
    PCR conditions across the three independent blocks are easily adjusted and range from 30 to 100°C with a maximum span of 30°C.
  • Advanced Ramp Rate Control
    Ramp rate can be adjusted from 0.1 to 5.0°C/sec, to accommodate different assays including CRISPR-related experiments.
  • High-Throughput Efficiency
    Maximize throughput with up to 3 x 48 x 0.1/0.2 ml samples.
  • Intuitive Operation
    Effortless programming on a large 10.1” color touch screen with a user-friendly interface.
  • Continuous Reliability: Zero Downtime
    Each of the three independent block modules can be independently calibrated to ensure uninterrupted operation during maintenance.

Options

  • Tube frame for use to maintain the equilibrium pressure, if the PCR plate is deformed.
  • Compression mat
    The 5 mm compression mat must be used to ensure sufficient contact pressure of the heated lid.
