G-Storm GS4 Thermal Cycler
Overview
The GS00004 Four-Block Thermal Cycler is a peltier-based PCR instrument designed for simultaneous amplification of nucleic acid targets across four independent blocks, providing mid-to high-throughput capacity for molecular biology workflows. It supports standard PCR protocols with programmable temperature cycling between denaturation, annealing and extension steps.
The unit integrates an intuitive user interface for program entry and control, and interchangeable thermal blocks to accommodate various plate formats, enabling flexible assay setup.
Highlights
- Four independent thermal blocks for parallel PCR runs
