    Gradient PCR are essential laboratory equipment for researchers who run polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for sequencing, cloning, genotyping, mutagenesis, and many other applications. It features precise PCR annealing temperature gradient to easily optimize PCR assays in a single run.
    • Overview
      • Six Independent temperature Blocks with imported TEC modules provide precise Temperature control for PCR optimization.
      • Gradient PCR thermal cycler with excellent thermal gradient temperature accuracy.
      • Independent front and rear air inlet and outlet duct design, which allows instruments to be placed close to each other, saving laboratory space.
      • Ultra large fin-type heat sink with intelligent fan speed control technology provides low-noise heat dissipation.
      • Flexible lid: Heated lid automatically adjusts to fit every PCR tube, creating pressure that prevents sample evaporation, to ensure reproducible results in every run.
      • The Lid comes with Intelligent auto-heating off function to reduce non-specific amplification by turning off the heating when the temperature of sample blocks is below 30°C.
      • Faster Heating and cooling Rates (Maximum heating rate >5°C/s, maximum cooling rate >4°C/s).
      • Provides excellent temperature uniformity and the gradient layout reduces edge effect.
      • Comes with USB interface at the front for easy gradient PCR protocol import & export. Also, Device software can be upgrade through USB.
      • Gradient PCR machine comes with Multiple Accounts and Access rights (Administrator, User Accounts, Visitor Accounts).
      • High resolution, 7-inch LCD touchscreen panel for easy operation and monitoring.
      • Touchdown (TD) PCR Mode and Long Range PCR Modes are available.
      • Compatible with universal PCR tubes, PCR 8 strips plates and 96-well PCR plates.
