• Software allows end of cycling elongation steps and extended period soaks at 4°C.
The MultiGene® II Personal Thermal Cycler combines a versatile and precise cycling unit with extremely easy to use software. Features straightforward and familiar programming with proven cycling technology. Heating and cooling are accomplished electronically by reliable Peltier units. These units are designed specifically for the rapid and precise temperature changes essential for amplification procedures. Block heating and cooling are driven by an algorithm that accurately simulates sample temperature.
The MultiGene® II is supplied with a heated lid for oil-free cycling. This lid can be turned off for subambient applications. The cycler can also be used for holding specific temperatures, allowing it to take the place of a traditional water bath, heat block or incubator. Compact design for preserving bench space. 120 volt.
