At under £1000 a new level of pricing is set with the launch of this thermal cycler for the amplification of nucleic acids
EuroTech has launched a new advanced thermal cycler to the UK for only £995, which it says breaks all previous prices.
EuroTech believes it now offers one of the most competitively priced high quality thermal cyclers in Europe.
The MultiGeneII is not limited to just the amplification of nucleic acids, the unit is also useful for applications such as enzymatic digestion, ligation, and other procedures that require incubation of small samples in a temperature controlled environment.
Features of the MultiGeneII also include:.
A compact and sleek design, weighing only 3.2kg - small enough to be truely considered a personal thermal cycler. The MultiGeneII is supplied with a 25x0.2ml tube block or a 16x0.5ml block.
The small size conserves valuable bench space. Reliable performance is achieved using proven cycling technology. Heating and cooling are accomplished electronically by reliable Peltier units providing a uniformity across the block of +/- 0.4C at 55C ensuring all samples are exposed to the same temperature conditions.
The heating rate is up to 2.2C/sec and the cooling rate up to 1.9C/sec.
The MultiGeneII is also supplied with a heated lid which can be switched off for subambient applications. User friendly programming allows cycling parameters to be entered using a convenient keypad.
Programmes can be run immediately upon entering, or up to 99 programmes can be saved.
A 40-character LCD display allows viewing set and current values while the protocol is being executed.
Up to nine segments can be achieved.
In addition to the standard parameters of time and temperature, the software allows for successive time and temperature increments and decrements (for touchdown amplification and auto-extension), auto-restart after power failure, end of cycling elongation steps and extended period soaks at 4C.
