Techne has extended its Prime range of thermal cyclers with the addition of a new in situ hybridisation adapter.
The adapter allows users to utilise the high performance of the Prime 96 x 0.2ml thermal cycler across an even greater range of applications.
By simply inserting the adapter, a standard thermal cycler is instantly converted to an in situ instrument capable of accommodating up to four standard size microscope slides with ±0.25?C block uniformity.
The in situ adapter is a single piece of precision engineered aluminium and other than occasional cleaning with a mild laboratory detergent; it requires no maintenance, making it convenient for busy multi-user labs.
The design allows easy removal of glass slides via the corner cut-outs, and the aluminium perimeter ridge means it is completely compatible with the thermal cycler lid.
This removes the risk of damage to glass slides and PCR samples if the lid is closed, especially useful in thermal cyclers with automatic or non-adjustable lids.
