Techne Prime thermal cyclers

The Techne thermal cycler range has been redesigned to provide easier programming and increased instrument flexibility. All Prime models have an enhanced thermal engine, a colour touch interface and preprogrammed protocol templates.

The ³Prime personal thermal cycler is packed full of features and claimed to be the only entry-level instrument to offer programming via a touch interface. Up to 1000 programs can be stored. With rapid ramp rates and a small footprint, this is a suitable instrument for both research and teaching labs.

³PrimeX and ³PrimeG are mid-sized cyclers that match all the features of the ³Prime instrument alongside expanded sample capacity and gradient cycling capability.

The Prime and PrimeG instruments are full-sized models with a versatile, fully interchangeable block system suitable for all routine PCR needs. Both ³PrimeG and PrimeG have gradient functionality, while the ³PrimeX and Prime units introduce a facility to add gradient capability through a simple USB upgrade, without the need to change a block.

The product provides good user experience and flexibility right across the range. The same software, look and feel is offered on each model.
