Applied Biosystems Thermal Cyclers for PCR |
Choosing the right thermal cycler (also known as a thermocycler or PCR machine) is key to the success of your PCR experiments across many applications, including sequencing, genotyping, cloning, and mutagenesis. Applied Biosystems thermal cyclers help generate precise, consistent, reproducible results for every challenge, experiment, and budget.
Our thermocyclers are designed for reliability, accuracy, and user friendliness to fit scientists’ needs. Applied Biosystems PCR instruments are equipped with:
- VeriFlex temperature control technology with segmented blocks that allow for precise temperature control
- Thermal Cycler Fleet Control Software—manage multiple instruments with the help of optional software to help enhance productivity of PCR machines with this secure remote access feature

Unique features of Applied Biosystems thermal cyclers
VeriFlex technology for precise temperature control
Applied Biosystems thermal cyclers that use VeriFlex technology are constructed with three or more separate heating/cooling elements below segmented metal blocks, each completely insulated from the others. This helps prevent heat interactions, providing the ability to set up to six different temperatures and allow for better-than-gradient control of temperature optimization.
Benefits of VeriFlex technology
- Enable highly accurate determination of optimal annealing temperatures
- Help eliminate guesswork often associated with standard gradient cyclers
- Help save time by running up to three reactions with different annealing temperatures in the same PCR run
- Use your thermal cycler as an incubator; take advantage of precision temperature control
Easy method transfer with simulation modes
Simulation mode supports easy transition and mimics ramp rates from old thermal cyclers to Applied Biosystems thermal cyclers, eliminating the need of re-optimization.
Simulation modes available for our thermal cycler models range from Bio-Rad™ T100, MJ Research PTC 200, Bio-Rad™ C1000, Bio-Rad™ MyCycler™, Eppendorf™ Mastercycler™, Applied Biosystems 9700, Applied Biosystems 2720, Applied Biosystems Veriti systems, and many more. Please visit each thermal cycler model for more details on the available simulation modes.
Stay in control with Thermal Cycler Fleet Control Software
Manage users, methods, and multiple instruments through a single intuitive interface
View and control the Applied Biosystems thermal cyclers in your facility with Applied Biosystems Thermal Cycler Fleet Control Software.
- Start and stop runs on any number of instruments from any in-network device
- Automatically store run reports on any in-network location. Export and access reports easily.
- Set up methods, manage reports and firmware upgrades and more from your office, another lab computer, or any other networked device
