Prime 96 x 0.2ml : Full-Sized Power for Everyday PCR

The Techne® Prime 96 x 0.2ml thermal cycler is a reliable and cost-effective workhorse for high-throughput labs. Designed to deliver consistent results in daily PCR workflows, it features a large 96-well block compatible with 0.2ml tubes or strip tubes — making it ideal for research, diagnostics, and production environments.

With a fast ramp rate of 3.4°C/s, temperature accuracy within ±0.25°C, and block uniformity of ±0.3°C, this full-size cycler ensures reproducibility and efficiency. The vivid 5.7” color touchscreen simplifies protocol setup through graphical or list-based programming. The heated lid is adjustable and programmable from 100°C to 115°C, suitable for a wide range of tube types and reaction conditions.

A key strength of the Prime series is its gradient upgradeability. With a simple software unlock (no hardware change required), the unit can support temperature gradients — making it adaptable to future PCR optimization needs.

With USB data transfer, auto-restart, and storage for up to 1000 programs, the Prime 96 is a lab favorite for those seeking volume, precision, and value.
