The TC-3000G gradient model enables eight different temperatures to be tested simultaneously within a 17 x 33cm footprint.
The TC-3000G has the same expanded capacity as the TC-3000X, but with two easily interchangeable block options.
The 48-well thermal block provides eight columns for temperature optimisation and six rows for optimising reagents and primer concentrations.
Annealing temperatures, at which primers bind to DNA templates, can be optimised over a 15C gradient between 20 and 80C.
The TC-3000G has a heating rate of 3.3C per second.
Rob Skehens, marketing director of Bibby Scientific, said: 'Rotating the 48-well block through 90 degrees has enabled a wider range of temperatures to be applied, across eight rather than only six columns.' The height-adjustable heated lid of the TC-3000G gives researchers the widest possible choice of consumables, including Techne's 24 and 48-well plates and eight-tube strips.
By utilising the USB connection, one standalone unit or up to 32 cyclers linked together can be controlled by Techne's Gensoft PC software.
