Thermal Cycler 3PrimeX 48 x 0.2ml

3PrimeX 48 x 0.2ml : Smart Mid-Throughput PCR with Gradient Flexibility

The Techne® 3PrimeX 48 x 0.2ml thermal cycler delivers the performance and adaptability required by research labs and diagnostic facilities that manage moderate PCR workloads. With a capacity of 48 x 0.2ml tubes, it’s well suited for high-efficiency workflows without stepping up to full-sized systems.

A key advantage of the 3PrimeX line is its upgradeability to gradient functionality. With a simple unlock code (no hardware changes required), users can access the full range of gradient cycling features — an ideal path for labs anticipating evolving PCR needs.

This model features a 3.0°C/s ramp rate, ±0.25°C temperature accuracy, and uniformity of ±0.3°C. The 3.5” VGA color touchscreen interface supports both list and graphical programming, enabling intuitive operation and rapid method setup. An adjustable heated lid ensures optimal contact with a wide range of consumables, while the selectable lid temperature (35°C to 115°C) helps minimize evaporation.

The unit stores up to 1000 user programs and supports USB data transfer for protocol sharing or updates. With automatic power failure recovery and a compact form factor, the 3PrimeX 48 is a smart investment for labs seeking reliable performance and upgrade-ready flexibility.
