MultiGene Gradient Thermal Cycler

PRECISION THERMAL CONTROL - Rapid heating and cooling of the precision machined sample block is achieved by six Peltier modules. Temperature sensors across the block feed data to the microprocessor to control operation of the system and ensure accuracy and uniformity. Two types of temperature control are selectable. The first option is block control, which uses the actual temperature of the block to adjust heating and cooling input. The second option is tube control, which uses a sophisticated algorithm program that calculates sample temperature based on volume and triggers heating and cooling accordingly to provide quick temperature change in the sample and minimize over- and undershoot.

EASY PROGRAMMING - Programming the MultiGene Gradient thermal cycler is very intuitive. The large, backlit LCD displays alphanumeric characters and a graphical representation of program steps. Simple, on-screen instructions guide the user through the programming process. The MultiGene Gradient is provided with common pre-programmed protocols which are easily edited by navigating to the appropriate parameter with the arrow keys and entering a new value. A maximum of 99 programs may be stored in the system memory and organized in public folders or user folders, which can be password protected.
