ProFlex PCR System
Flexible configuration and control
Now cloud-enabled for secure remote access
The Applied Biosystems ProFlex PCR System combines the reliability and performance you’ve come to expect from Applied Biosystems thermal cyclers with the flexible configuration and control features that fit how you work today. Interchangeable block formats allow you to maximize your throughput or run independent experiments concurrently. And now you can access your ProFlex PCR System with Thermo Fisher Connect, giving you the freedom to design and securely upload your methods and monitor runs from any smartphone or desktop computer.
Run three experiments at once with three independently controlled blocks
The ProFlex PCR System with the 3 x 32-well block option can run three different cycling conditions, at three different times by one or multiple users. This feature makes the ProFlex PCR System easy and efficient to share in busy labs.
Quickly, easily swap out blocks to meet your PCR needs
The ProFlex PCR System has 5 different blocks that can be changed with the flip of a switch, including the first-of-its-kind 3 x 32-well block. This block allows up to three experiments to be run simultaneously, completely independently of each other and without interference. Dual 96-well and dual 384-well blocks are available for your high-throughput sequencing needs, and a dual flat block is available to support Applied Biosystems OpenArray plate technology for genotyping analysis on the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 12K Flex Real-Time PCR System.
Boost productivity with secure remote access to your ProFlex thermal cycler
The ProFlex thermal cycler is a cloud-enabled instrument, 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.
Monitor
Check run status and instrument availability in real-time.
Download our Instrument Connect remote monitoring app to:
- Check instrument availability
- Schedule an instrument
- Check run status
Share
Discretionary access to project folders and protocols.
Share your protocols or other files with other Thermo Fisher Connect users on campus and around the world. It’s easy, convenient, and protected by the highest levels of privacy standards.

Precise PCR optimization with VeriFlex technology
VeriFlex Blocks provide a better-than-gradient approach to PCR optimization. With three separate Peltier blocks, you have precise control over three temperature zones.
- Enables highly accurate determination of optimal annealing temperature
- Helps eliminate guesswork often associated with standard gradient cyclers
- Helps 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
