For customers seeking to automate their PCR workflow, the Applied Biosystems Automated Thermal Cycler (ATC) provides the reliability and performance you’ve come to expect from Applied Biosystems instruments. Now in a small, easy-to-integrate, and compatible format, our Automated Thermal Cycler enables hands-free PCR results.

Space-saving design with our smallest thermal cycler footprint
• Flexible modular design helps save space on a robotic deck
• The separate control panel module provides flexibility when integrating on a robotic deck
• Choice of 10 cm, 1 m, and 3 m cables allows flexibility to locate the control module under the thermal cycler, under the deck, or up to 3 m away from the unit

Automated lid and cycler features
• The automated lid is compatible with programming for easy, hands-free operation with a liquid handler or plate stacker
• The heated cover slides forward to cover the plate nest, to help ensure thermal contact and eliminating evaporation
• The ATC is compatible with full-skirt or half-skirt plates

Fully integrate your automated system with our easy-to-install software
• Integration with your robot is easy with SiLA Rapid Integration™ standard–compatible software and prewritten application
programming interfaces (APIs) for major robotic platforms
• Test the instrument using desktop software before buying the robot
• Allow the ATC to cycle just like your old instrument with Applied Biosystems 9700 system simulation modes

Use the ATC as a stand-alone PCR thermal cycler
Flexible software can easily be connected to your robot’s software interface or be used to control the ATC as a stand-alone instrument.

Test your instrument using the ATC desktop application before integrating it into your robotic automation system.

Compatible plastics for optimal performance
MicroAmp EnduraPlate Optical 96-Well Full-Skirted Plates are designed exclusively for use with Automated Thermal Cycler (ATC). Features of these plates include:
• Full-skirted polycarbonate frame constructed to ANSI/SBS standards for compatibility with robotic handling and plate stacking
• Three-way barcodes on east (A12-H12), south (H1-H12), and west (A1-A12) sides to improve plate reading efficiency
• Easy-to-read black well-identification text to minimize pipetting errors
• Available in multiple colors for easy organization of laboratory assays
• Certified DNA-, RNase-, and PCR inhibitor-free

Award-winning service and support
• Help reduce downtime with rapid exchange support
• Have our engineers perform temperature qualification at your site
