Expanded sample capacity, accommodating 48 x 0.2ml microtubes, 30 x 0.5ml tubes plus half a 96 well plate in a horizontal format.

3PrimeX

The 3PrimeX delivers all the features of the 3Prime instrument but with an expanded sample capacity, accommodating 48 x 0.2ml microtubes, 30 x 0.5ml tubes plus half a 96 well plate in a horizontal format. Design flexibility allows the unit to be upgraded to include gradient cycling capability.
  • Colour touchscreen interface for fast program setup
  • Small space-saving footprint
  • Larger block sizes; 48 x 0.2ml (half 96-well plate) and 30 x 0.5ml
  • Fast ramp rate up to 3.0°C/sec
  • Upgrade to gradient cycling (see 3PrimeG specification) 
  • Data Transfer via USB
  • Techne 4-year warranty

3PrimeG

The 3PrimeG is a small gradient thermal cycler that builds on all the features of the 3PrimeX instrument. The 48-well block format offers eight columns for annealing temperature optimization and six rows for optimizing reagents such as MgCl2 and primer concentrations. Annealing temperatures can be optimized over 14°C between temperatures 30°C to 80°C. The gradient calculator function displays the temperature for each of the eight columns, ensuring easy replication of thermal conditions.

Additional Features

  • The gradient can be applied across a temperature range of 30°C to 80°C
  • Maximum Gradient 14°C
  • Gradient calculator function
