When it comes to real-time PCR, accuracy, speed, and ease-of-use are non-negotiable. That’s why we’re proud to introduce you to Mic, the world’s first magnetic induction qPCR cycler—a revolutionary advancement in molecular diagnostics engineered and manufactured in Australia.
Weighing just 2 kg and small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, Mic delivers powerful performance in a compact package. It’s fast, portable, and remarkably precise—making it the go-to tool for researchers, diagnostic labs, and mobile testing units across the globe.
Why Choose Mic qPCR?
Mic was designed to solve the frustrations that many labs face with traditional block-based PCR systems. Here’s how it outperforms the rest:
✅ Speed That Saves You Time
Mic completes 35 qPCR cycles in under 25 minutes, thanks to its magnetic induction heating and fan-forced air cooling. Standard run times are under 40 minutes—making quick, high-quality data generation the new norm.
✅ Unrivaled Accuracy and Reproducibility
With ±0.25°C temperature accuracy and ±0.05°C uniformity (HRM models), Mic guarantees consistency across samples, runs, and even between instruments. The result? Trustworthy, publishable data that holds up to scrutiny.
✅ Compact and Portable
Mic is only 2.1 kg and smaller than your lab notebook. It’s the most portable qPCR machine on the market. No bulky heated lids, no external centrifuges—just plug, play, and go.
✅ No Calibration. Ever.
Mic doesn’t require calibration or servicing. Its optical system has no moving parts and no alignment needed. This makes it perfect for labs that demand reliability without downtime.
✅ High-Performance Optics
Mic comes in 2-channel or 4-channel options. Each channel features an independent high-intensity LED, photodiode detector, and fixed filter set. With all channels acquired simultaneously and no crosstalk or reference dye needed, Mic is ideal for multiplexing.
✅ Seamless Software Integration
The intuitive Mic software is plug-and-play. From installation to your first run, the setup is effortless. It also supports multi-run and multi-instrument data analysis—allowing you to expand from 48 to 96 or even 192 samples across multiple Mics connected to a single PC.
