Power up your assay development: DOE made easy on icon96™

n6 Tec., Inc
9 Mar 2026

Design of Experiments (DOE) can dramatically improve PCR assay development, but traditional thermocyclers limit flexibility and efficiency. The icon96™ platform overcomes these limitations with 96 independently controlled wells, enabling multiple thermocycling conditions to be tested in a single plate. This technical note demonstrates how icon96 simplifies DOE workflows, reduces experimental runs, and accelerates assay optimization while minimizing time and consumable usage.

Stop gambling on cycle numbers. The icon96 uses iconPCR™ technology with AutoNorm™ software to provide real-time fluorescence feedback in each of 96 independent wells, preventing under-amplification dropouts and over-amplification artifacts—delivering balanced, sequencing-ready libraries without manual quantification or normalization.
