Great instrument, our lab staff is impressed with it!
Real-time PCR, Melting curve analysis, Gene expression
Mic real-time PCR cycler is a great instrument, equiped with four channels and a broad spectrum of fluorescent dyes. It has a user friendly software, and occupies small peace of space. It is particularly useful if test a fiew samples, because of its tube format. The user can choose among various types of report formats. It is very reliable cycler, fast, and does not need to be calibrated. It provides accurate results. I like it so much! Just be aware regarding the max. volume it can accept (30 ul)!

Amazing experience using this and i would recommend everyone to use this product..
Development and verification of presence/absence assay for M. tuberculosis
We purchased the 4-channel MIC instrument and used it for development and verification of several of our commercial assays (as mentioned above in detail). MIC is extremely easy to setup, the software is intelligent, intuitive and possesses wide array of data analysis features. While most of our assays are real time PCR with hydrolysis probes, some of our tests also utilize high resolution melting of unlabeled probes or short amplicons. We were impressed by the excellent melt quality and very low noise, especially in the lower temperature regions, where most other instruments struggle. Temperature uniformity was excellent, as confirmed by consistent Ct values and tight clustering of the melt curves. Another thing to highlight is the lack of need for calibration, otherwise an expensive process that has to be performed periodically.

What more can one want when trying to conduct in-field diagnostics.
Molecular diagnostics - qPCR/PCR
A semi-portable qPCR machine which can process up to 48 samples in <1hr. Can be run with an external battery hooked to a transformer or a generator. The software for set-up and analysing results is very user-friendly too! At 1/3 of the price of a normal qPCR machine, with 1/4 of the foot print and 1/10 of the weight it is worth every penny. Can read 4-channels, and has the option for HRM too!

Mic uses a patented magnetic induction technology to achieve heating and forced airflow for cooling. This means faster heating and cooling times. Back that up with a robust optical system that reads all four channels simultaneously and running multichannel assays has never been quicker.
Mic’s spinning aluminium rotor gives unsurpassed temperature uniformity during dynamic and static operations. All other block-based cyclers only promise static uniformity, which could lead to inaccurate data, as samples aren’t heated and cooled equally. You might think this level of accuracy requires constant calibration, but Mic’s good to go right out of the box. You don’t need to calibrate – ever.
Mic takes up less space on the bench than your lab book. And weighing in at just 2 kg, this is the most portable qPCR cycler on the market. Even four Mic’s stacked together take up less bench space than your current cycler.
Multiple Mics can be operated from one workstation so 48 becomes 96, and 96 becomes 192. Bluetooth technology means fewer cables too.
Features & Benefits:
- Very fast cycling times with 35 cycles possible in less than 25 min*
- Instruments are available with either 2 (Green/Yellow) or 4 channels
- Separate high intensity LED excitation source for each channel (uniform excitation output) and a separate emission filter and detector for each channel
- Assays designed toward cDNA targets with short amplicon sizes and using fast cycling compatible polymerases
- With an excellent temperature accuracy of ± 0.25ºC, a first class well-to-well temperature uniformity of ± 0.05ºC, combined with superior equilibration time uniformity (zero seconds for all wells to reach the same temperature); easily classify difficult class IV SNPs that require melt temperature resolutions of less than 0.1ºC.
- Excellent reproducibility between samples and repeatability between runs and instruments ensures the highest level of quantification precision; allowing for the detection of two-fold differences in gene expression levels.
- Fixed optical path with no moving parts means no optical alignment or calibration and no need for a ROX reference dye.
- The magnetic induction technology allows for a small instrument footprint to be achieved, by way of its elegant simplicity.
- The tube format uses 0.1 mL strips of four tubes and matching caps, supporting volumes of 10 to 25 µL. A tab on tube 1 ensures correct orientation of tubes into the instrument.
- High speed centrifugation ensures samples spin down at the start of a run, and during a run will remove bubbles and prevent condensation, eliminating the need for bulky heated lids and external centrifuges.
- Instruments can communicate via Bluetooth or USB cable. As many as ten instruments can be run from the one PC allowing for up to 480 samples to be run simultaneously.
- Individual runs can be collated into a project and analysed together.
- Installation is plug-and-play.
