The instrument operates quietly and features easy-to-learn, intuitive software. The large 7-inch touchscreen is easy to use in any laboratory environment and supports comfortable day-to-day operation. With intuitive buttons and a clearly structured interface, PCR programs and applications can be set up quickly and easily. This makes the system ideal for users of all experience levels. The software is clearly organized and can be learned in a short time. In addition, the FastGene® Gradient PCR Cycler offers an integrated gradient of up to 42°C, making it ideal for optimizing PCR protocols. Excellent heating and cooling rates, together with precise temperature control, ensure reliable and reproducible results. ![FastGene Gradient PCR Cycler Gradient settings](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/dynamic/fastgene-gradient-pcr-cycler-gradient-settings-120x0-c-default.png) ### Optimize PCR conditions efficiently Primer annealing temperature strongly influences PCR specificity and product yield. The integrated gradient function allows multiple temperatures to be tested simultaneously across the 96-well block, helping identify suitable reaction conditions in a single run. With a gradient span of up to 42°C, new assays can be optimized faster while reducing repeated experiments and reagent use. **Gradient setting range**33-99°C**Maximum gradient span**42°C across the block ![FastGene Gradient PCR Cycler | Block uniformity](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/dynamic/fastgene-gradient-pcr-cycler-block-uniformity-120x0-c-default.png) ### Reliable conditions in every well High temperature accuracy, precision, and block uniformity support reproducible PCR conditions across all 96 wells. This helps minimize variation between edge and center positions and contributes to consistent amplification results throughout the plate. **Temperature accuracy**±0.1°C**Temperature precision**±0.1°C**Temperature uniformity**±0.3°C at 55°C**Temperature setting range**0–105°C ![FastGene Gradient PCR Cycler | Software](https://www.nippongenetics.eu/app/uploads/dynamic/fastgene-gradient-pcr-cycler-software-120x0-c-default.png) ### Straightforward setup The 7-inch touchscreen and graphical user interface support straightforward protocol setup and daily operation. Up to 5,000 programs can be stored, while multi-user management and USB-based method transfer make the FG-TC03 suitable for shared laboratory environments.
