Description:
Includes 5 x MicroAmp EnduraPlate Optical 96-well Clear Reaction Plates with Barcode (100 plates total)
The ProFlex PCR System combines the reliability and performance you’ve come to expect from Applied Biosystems instruments with the flexible configuration and control features that adapt to your research needs. This package includes a system plus plastics (MicroAmp 8-Tube Strips with Attached Domed Caps or MicroAmp EnduraPlates and MicroAmp Clear Adhesive Films).

Proflex PCR System
• Interchange 96-well 0.2-mL block with another block type if throughput needs change
• Access the system remotely (and conveniently) through mobile app
• Program instrument in seconds with simple-to-use touchscreen interface
• Simulate old instrument with Thermal Simulation modes
• Optimize PCR quickly and efficiently with better-than-gradient VeriFlex blocks

MicroAmp 8-Tube Strips with Attached Domed Caps
MicroAmp 8-Tube Strips with Attached Domed Caps feature individually attached domed caps, dual large end-tabs, and graduated 20-μL markers on each tube to help prevent cross-contamination, pipetting errors, and sample identification errors.
• Strip of eight tubes with attached domed caps that open and close independently to prevent contamination and evaporation
• Angled caps that provide efficient tube strip positioning in racks and thermal cycler blocks
• Etched A-H letter labeling on individual tubes visible when caps are open or closed
• Dual end tabs for proper labeling and easy handling
• Graduated 20-μL measuring markers on each tube for visual volume verification

MicroAmp EnduraPlates
MicroAmp EnduraPlates offer excellent PCR or qPCR performance in formats developed to meet your experimental needs. They are a solution for work that requires special handling and an even greater degree of durability for use with multi-instrument experiments. They are validated for use with Applied Biosystems PCR thermal cyclers for optimal fit and performance.
• Optimized for performance with Applied Biosystems instruments
• Certified DNA-, RNAse-, and PCR inhibitor-free with in-process sampling tests
• Constructed to ANSI/SBS standard, well suited to high-throughput laboratories and robot handling
• Available in multiple colors for easy organization of laboratory assays
• Excellent mechanical stability and flatness for your complete workflow needs

MicroAmp Clear Adhesive Films
MicroAmp Clear Adhesive Films create a secure seal across an entire microplate to prevent evaporation and well-to-well contamination.
• Adhesive provides tight seal over wells to prevent leaks and evaporation.
• Easy to apply and remove
• Available as Clear (economical and sticky) or Optical (ready for real-time PCR and non-tacky)

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is the optimal ramp rate for my thermal cycler?

There is no universal ramp rate for a thermal cycler because both the block and sample ramp rates are different for each thermal cycler. The sample ramp rate changes with the volume of the sample since more time and energy are required to heat higher sample volumes. The ramp rate may also need to be changed for a particular PCR assay or primer pair if you are trying to use the same PCR assay on two different thermal cyclers, for example.

As a reference, the block ramp rate commonly used with DreamTaq Polymerase on the MiniAmp thermal cycler is 3.0 C/sec. In a 50 µL PCR reaction, this translates to a sample ramp rate of ~1 C/sec.
