Details
Genie® II is a compact, lightweight and robust instrument suitable for use in the field or laboratory. It was specifically designed to run any isothermal amplification method that employs target detection by fluorescence measurement. The device has two heating blocks, each of which takes a single 8-microtube strip specially designed for the instrument. The tubes feature locking caps that do not open after a run, preventing contamination. The blocks can be controlled independently or run together for processing up to 16 samples. The instrument boasts low power requirements and includes a rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery that can keep it running for a full working day.
