Techne® Prime thermal cyclers from Bibby Scientific are high performance instruments designed for laboratories requiring a large sample throughput. A fully interchangeable block system allows exchange without needing tools and offers enhanced versatility. A large, 5.7” VGA colour touchscreen with intuitive software programming and graphical display ensures user-friendly control and operation. Up to 1000 x 3-segment programmes can be stored with incremental/decremental timing and temperature elements. Eight Peltier modules per block provide rapid heating and cooling over the range +4°C to +100°C, with block uniformity
