Routine PCR, elevated
Now cloud-enabled for secure remote access
Backed by the proven reliability of Applied Biosystems technology the MiniAmp Plus Thermal Cycler and the MiniAmp Thermal Cycler were designed for routine PCR. With their compact design, just 7.5 in (19 cm) wide, and entry-level price, MiniAmp Thermal Cyclers are perfect for every lab bench.
The primary difference between the MiniAmp Plus Thermal Cycler and the MiniAmp Thermal Cycler is the block. The MiniAmp Thermal Cycler has an isothermal block, while the MiniAmp Plus Thermal Cycler offers an upgrade to a VeriFlex Block for PCR optimization.
MiniAmp Plus Thermal Cycler
VeriFlex Block (96-well, 0.2 mL)
Three independent temperature zones for easy PCR optimization
MiniAmp Thermal Cycler
Isothermal block (96-well, 0.2 mL)
Uniform block temperature for basic PCR
Precise PCR optimization with VeriFlex Blocks
Applied Biosystems VeriFlex Blocks provide a better-than-gradient approach to PCR optimization. With three independently controlled zones, you have precise control over optimization temperatures.
- 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
Boost productivity with secure remote access to your MiniAmp Thermal Cycler
MiniAmp Thermal Cyclers are cloud-enabled instruments, allowing you secure, private access with a Thermo Fisher Connect account. Anywhere, anytime, with any mobile device or desktop computer you can:
- Design and share protocols
- Schedule an instrument
- Start or stop a run
- Check run status
Setup is easy, and your account comes with 10 GB of free storage.
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.
