Four E's Scientific Gradient PCR Optima96 PR122
Product Description
Gradient PCR PR112
Six independent temperature blocks provide precise gradient control for PCR optimisation.
Heated lid prevents evaporation; auto-heating off reduces non-specific amplification.
Fast heating/cooling rates with uniform temperature minimize edge effects.
USB interface and touchscreen allow protocol import/export and easy monitoring.
The Gradient PCR Optima 96 delivers precise thermal cycling with six independent blocks for optimal PCR assay development. Featuring fast heating/cooling, heated lid evaporation control, and intuitive touchscreen with USB protocol management, it ensures reproducible, high-quality results for a variety of PCR applications.
