Genie® II
Genie® II is an instrument that supports any isothermal DNA / RNA amplification method employing fluorescence readout. The device has two heating blocks, each of which takes a single 8-microtube strip that was specially designed for the instrument. The tubes feature locking caps that do not open after a run, so preventing any contamination. The blocks can be controlled independently or run together for processing up to 16 samples.
