The peqSTAR thermal cycler family combines high quality engineering with a comprehensive range of block formats. The peqSTAR X cycler is designed around a powerful yet easy to use software interface, and uses the same platform for both 96-well and 384-well formats. The peqSTAR 2X, with two independent high speed 48-well blocks in one system, offers the optimal solution for maximum flexibility within a minimal footprint. The peqSTAR XS is a compact personal cycler, with the highest flexibility. Its universal block can be loaded with up to 32×0,2 ml tubes, 4×0,2 ml 8-strips, or 16×0,5 ml tubes with flat caps.
