Multigene Mini Thermal Cycler

The Multigene Mini is the ideal compact cycler for the classroom. Up to 24 samples in 0.2 mL tubes or 18 samples in 0.5 mL tubes can be incubated at one time. The heated lid with attached slip gear allows for convenient, oil-free cycling that won’t crush tubes.

A large LCD display with intuitive, graphical based protocol programming makes programming simple. Reaction parameters including heating and cooling ramp rates, time and temperature can be programmed with ease. Up to 100 programs can be stored in the unit’s large memory. During the run, students can monitor the progress of their reactions including temperature, time remaining and cycle number via an easy graphical interface.

The Multigene Mini uses Peltier cooling to reach a ramp speed of up to 5°C per second. It delivers a temperature range from 4 to 99°C with temperature uniformity to 0.3°C. Soak feature can be programmed to hold completed reactions at 4°C overnight. Software allows for successive time and temperature increments and decrements, auto restart after power failure end of cycling elongation steps for touchdown amplification and auto-extension.

Blocks are interchangeable.
