Description
The Applied Biosystems ProFlex 3×32-well PCR System is a flexible, high-performance thermal cycler designed for labs that need to run multiple independent experiments simultaneously on a single instrument. Its three independently controlled 32-well modules allow up to three users to run completely separate protocols at the same time without interference, maximizing instrument utilization and throughput. Each module features VeriFlex temperature control technology with two dedicated Peltier elements, enabling precise annealing temperature optimization across six zones per module. The interchangeable block design allows labs to swap in alternative formats as needs evolve, and cloud connectivity via Thermo Fisher Connect enables remote monitoring and protocol management from any device.
Features:
- 3 Independent 32-Well Modules: Three completely independent modules allow up to three users to run separate PCR protocols simultaneously on a single instrument without cross-interference.
- VeriFlex Temperature Control: Two dedicated Peltier elements per 32-well module provide precise, zone-by-zone temperature control for superior annealing optimization without traditional gradient runs.
- Interchangeable Block Formats: Modular design supports five block types including 96-well, 2×96-well, 384-well, 3×32-well, and dual flat formats, swappable with the flip of a switch.
- Cloud Connectivity: Integrates with Thermo Fisher Connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet for remote method upload, run monitoring, and alerts from any device.
- 8.4-inch Touchscreen Interface: Color LCD touchscreen enables intuitive protocol programming and instrument control with minimal training.
- Simulation Modes: Built-in ramp rate simulation modes mimic legacy instruments including the Applied Biosystems 9700, 9600, Veriti, Bio-Rad C1000, and Eppendorf Mastercycler for seamless method transfer.
- Fleet Control Compatible: Supports Thermal Cycler Fleet Control Software for centralized multi-instrument management.
- Auto Restart & Program Protection: Automatic restart after power outages and program overwrite protection safeguard ongoing runs and stored protocols.
