FAQ
-
Is the performance of MiniTurbo different from that of other conventional benchtop thermal cyclers?
MiniTurbo provides the same performance as other benchtop thermal cyclers. Applications include regular PCR and incubation.
-
What is the temperature range of MiniTurbo?
-Block Temperature Range: 4 to 99°C
-Lid: fixed 105°C (pre-heat to 60°C) -
How to input a protocol to MiniTurbo?
MiniTurbo has a protocol chip. The protocol chip can store protocols and there is no need to enter any protocol by hand. This prevents setting errors and ensures that the target nucleic acid will be amplified properly. When the protocol chip is placed in the port, the MiniTurbo will recognize it automatically.
