PRIME G is a gradient enabled thermal cycler with all the features of the PRIME base unit plus:
• Wide linear gradient with a range of 30ºC allows annealing temperatures to be optimized in one experiment.
• Gradient calculator function displays the temperature for each of the 8 columns, ensuring easy replication of thermal conditions.
• Gradient can be applied across a temperature range 30 to 80ºC.
• Gradient (max): 30ºC; (min): 1ºC.
