Labnet MultiGene OptiMax Programmable Gradient PCR Thermal Cycler with 6-Segment Block
Product Description
The Labnet MultiGene OptiMax Thermal Cycler is a high-precision PCR instrument engineered for molecular biology and biotechnology laboratories, supporting applications including molecular cloning workflows, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics. Featuring a 96-well block format compatible with standard plates, 0.2 mL tubes, and 8-strip tubes, it facilitates versatile sample processing essential for bioprocessing and gene editing protocols.
Key technical features include:
- Temperature control range from 4°C to 99.9°C with ±0.5°C accuracy and uniformity, ensuring reliable amplification for sensitive assays.
- Peltier-based heating and cooling delivering consistent thermal cycling performance with precise ramp rates.
- A unique 6-segment gradient block design dividing the block into six independently controlled 4 x 4 well zones, enabling simultaneous testing of up to six annealing temperatures within a 24°C spread, optimizing PCR condition development and reducing experiment time.
- Programmable heated lid adjustable between 60–65°C or 100–115°C to prevent sample evaporation, with an option to disable when unnecessary.
- Extensive program memory with capacity for 200 complete protocols and 50 user folders, including password protection to secure critical or proprietary protocols in shared laboratory settings.
- Standard communication interfaces via USB and RS232 ports for easy integration into laboratory IT infrastructure.
- Compact footprint measuring 10 x 17 x 10 inches and weighing 20 lbs, suitable for benchtop use in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and biomedical research environments.
- Electrical compatibility with 100–240V, 50/60Hz power supplies consuming 750W.
The MultiGene OptiMax thermal cycler supports complex PCR optimization essential to biomanufacturing and synthetic biology research, widely adopted for live-cell analysis prep and fluorescence-based assays. Its advanced gradient technology simplifies multiplex PCR development and gene editing validation by enabling multiple temperature conditions in a single run. The instrument is a critical asset for researchers focusing on molecular diagnostics and genomic applications in modern biotechnology labs.
