The
3
PrimeX thermal cycler can be easily and quickly upgraded to the gradient
3
PrimeG version by
purchasing the 3PRIMEX/USB upgrade. The upgrade consists of a license certificate printed with a
unique upgrade code which allows gradient functionality to be installed on any non-gradient Techne
3
PrimeX thermal cycler.
Purchase of this license certificate authorises the owner of any non-gradient Techne
3
PrimeX thermal
cycler to lawfully utilise the gradient capability of that thermal cycler in all European and American
geographies. The license is machine-specific and non-transferable.
Gradient upgrade procedure:
• Turn on the
3
PrimeX unit.
• On the home screen, touch Settings and then More
Settings, followed by Add Gradient Feature.
• Go to the address www.techne.com. Click on
Support then Technical Support. Under Further
Information click on Thermal Cycler Gradient
Upgrade.
• Insert the serial number from the
3
PrimeX into the
website twice as instructed.
• Insert the upgrade code printed on the certificate into
the website.
• Click Show confirmation number.
• Insert the upgrade code and confirmation number
into the
3
PrimeX and touch Validate.
• The

PrimeX is now upgraded.
