Prime Combi-Block : Dual-Format Flexibility for Mixed PCR Needs

The Techne® Prime Combi-Block model offers unmatched flexibility, accommodating both 0.2ml and 0.5ml tubes in one instrument. Its block includes 33 wells for each size, allowing users to run mixed-format PCR reactions in parallel — a unique feature especially useful in multi-user or protocol development labs.

This model supports a 3.4°C/s ramp rate and has excellent thermal control with ±0.25°C accuracy and ±0.3°C uniformity. The heated lid is adjustable and programmable, ensuring tight sealing regardless of tube size. The 5.7” touchscreen makes protocol setup seamless, whether using the graphical or list view.

Gradient cycling can be enabled at any time via a software unlock. With 1000-program memory, USB connectivity, and power failure recovery, this unit is ideal for labs looking for versatility without complexity.
