New Applied Biosystems PowerFlex Thermal Cycler

Exceptional Performance, Compatibility, and Productivity

Building on our legacy of innovation, the PowerFlex Thermal Cycler leverages the latest block technology and connectivity options to balance high-end performance with exceptional usability. These innovations enable faster ramp rates, greater thermal accuracy and uniformity, and an intuitive interface for easy protocol setup and monitoring.

Easy Temperature Optimization

The PowerFlex Thermal Cycler features Applied Biosystems VeriFlex™ Block Technology, utilizing multiple Peltier elements to optimize PCR temperature with high precision. VeriFlex Blocks allow fine temperature control using six independently controlled zones, enabling precise optimization and higher PCR success rates.

Independent Control

With a 3 × 32-well block format, each block can be controlled separately (such that multiple users can use the instrument at the same time irrespective of their protocols, or three different protocols can be set by one user to increase lab productivity).

Simulation Mode

Simulation mode allows protocols to be run under the same conditions as a different thermal cycler. This minimizes the need to re-optimize protocols when transitioning to a new device.

Secure Remote Access

The Thermo Fisher™ Connect Platform enables secure remote access anytime, anywhere, from a mobile device or desktop computer. The platform allows you to design and share protocols, download experimental report files, schedule an instrument run, or check run status remotely. Access is secure, private, and available on all cloud-enabled instruments.

SmartHelp

With the SmartHelp functionality, service or technical support tickets can be sent directly from the thermal cycler. Log files and run history can be automatically attached, enabling faster diagnosis and resolution.

Reliability

Components used to manufacture our thermal cyclers must pass rigorous testing for repeated stress effects and environmental tolerance (including low and high temperature and humidity), as well as shock and vibration testing according to International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) standards.

High-Throughput Workflows

The PowerFlex Thermal Cycler is engineered with advanced block design to enable integration into automated workflows. It supports a wide range of plastic consumables, from single tubes to semi- and fully-skirted plates, enabling flexibility across formats and PCR workflows. Its precise temperature, block format variety, and fully- skirted plate compatibility make it ideal for high-throughput applications.
