Genie Lite retains the identical precision thermal control and high-performance optical detection systems as other Genie series instruments at an entry level price point. Designed as an advanced open platform instrument that supports all isothermal amplification methods that employ target detection by fluorescence measurement.
Genie Lite contains the same precision thermal control and high-performance optical systems as our other Genie series instruments.
Although this is a stand-alone mains powered device a rechargeable power-bank accessory can be used for those in-field applications
