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:

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
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.
View and control the Applied Biosystems thermal cyclers in your facility with Applied Biosystems Thermal Cycler Fleet Control Software.
Fleet Control Software comes pre-installed on a server that sits securely behind your firewall giving you the security you need.
Your thermal cycler fleet control can be as restrictive or open as your work requires. Set up permissions in the custom rules menu for methods, users, and instruments. Restrict methods to specific instruments or users, or limit user access to specific methods or instruments.
Store
Design protocols from anywhere; easily maintain run reports.
Develop protocols on any desktop computer or mobile device and store them in your secure personal cloud account. Once your run is prepared, start it from your instrument or remotely with Thermo Fisher Connect. After each run, the run report will be conveniently saved in your account.
