The Mic is the world’s first magnetic induction qPCR thermal cycler. Made by the same engineers as the Rotor-Gene® Q, the Mic uses a patented magnetic induction technology to heat your samples and fan forced air to cool them. This means fast qPCR results through rapid heating and cooling with 35 cycles possible in under 25 minutes! To achieve this level of quantification precision, the Mic real-time cycler incorporates a unique aluminum rotor that rotates each sample through the same detectors - giving you unsurpassed reproducibility and no fluorescence variability! Both the optical system and thermal sensors are fixed leaving the rotor as the only moving component in the unit - saving you up to $7,000 in annual calibration service fees. On top of the quality performance, the Mic’s modern personal design takes up less space on the bench and connects directly to your PC via Bluetooth which makes it the most compact and portable qPCR machine in the market!
Includes 4-Channel Mic qPCR machine, tube clamp, Bluetooth antenna, capping tool, tubes and caps - box 960, power adapter (100-240V), USB cable, USB key with software manual, calibration certificate, quick start guide, safety information sheet, power cable, and 2-year warranty.

Can I run the same chemistry as my existing qPCR machine?
Yes, the protocols for most assays will transfer to Mic without any changes. In some cases where a standard Taq polymerase is used (i.e. not specified to be compatible with fast cycling) we suggest you use the Standard Taq Temperature Control option in the run profile. This slows down the heating rate of the Mic instrument to be closer to other instruments.
The recommended PC requirements are Intel i5 processor, 2.4 GHz, 8 GB of RAM, 1 GB free hard drive capacity and Windows 10, 64-bit (English version) Operating System
The magnetic induction system used by Mic to heat the sample works on the same principle as an induction cooktop. The benefits over a peltier block based system are: 1)Fast cycling times (runs in less than 25 min) 2)Superior temperature uniformity (±0.05°C) 3)Only the rotor is heated – no need for thermal insulation 4)Mechanical simplicity results in one of the smallest real-time qPCR machines ever made 5)Rotary design allows us to incorporate an oil overlay ensuring no evaporation and no condensation. The oil overlay gives superior results and there is no need for a heated lid.
Yes, the portability and robustness of Mic is a huge advantage for anyone needing to do real time PCR in the field. Mic has proven to run reliably off batteries (car, truck or solar powered) using an inverter to supply between 100V and 240V AC.
Having flexibility in running different volumes is important to many users. Small volumes allow for significant reductions in reagent costs. Higher volumes allow for greater sensitivity in their test by increasing the chances of detecting the target. Mic maintains the same performance for any volume from 5 to 30µl.
A thermal sensor is embedded in the spinning rotor which measures tube temperature directly. This sensor does not drift over time so there is no need for it to be recalibrated. For those customers who require an annual validation report, we have a Temperature Verification System. Mic’s optical system has a fixed optical path and no moving parts. This means there is never any need for optical alignment or calibration. Because every sample spins past the same detector there are no reference dyes or crosstalk compensation is required either
