SciGene released the Hyb-Ice Thermal Profiling System*, an affordable and flexible alternative to a standard thermal cycler for performing everyday temperature profiles. The system consists of a programmable heating/cooling base and removable block that heat and cool samples from 4 to 99°C. The system accommodates a variety of quick-change blocks to fit nearly any tube or plate.
The Hyb-Ice System provides excellent temperature regulation, uniformity and ramp rates and performs PCR in either standard or large volume tubes. A non-contact heated lid controls condensation. Programs can be stored or run via an onboard USB drive.
