OptimaFlex Multi-Block Gradient PCR System

The OptimaFlex Multi-Block Gradient PCR System revolutionizes laboratory efficiency by combining high-throughput capabilities with unmatched flexibility. 

This system offers three interchangeable thermal blocks: 

1 x 96-well for 0.2ml tubes, 

2x 48-well for 0.2ml tubes and 3 x 32-well for 0.2ml tubes, 

allowing seamless transitions between different sample volumes and experimental needs.

 It is designed for researchers who demand precision and adaptability, providing high throughput in parallel operation in combination with the flexibility to run different protocols.
