Applied Biosystems MiniAmp Thermal Cycler with 96-Well Block and Touchscreen Interface
Product Description
The Applied Biosystems MiniAmp Thermal Cycler is a benchtop PCR instrument designed for precise temperature control in molecular biology workflows, including biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. It features a compact footprint (7.9 x 7.5 x 15.4 in, 19 lbs) suited for limited lab spaces and supports 96-well plates with 0.2 mL tube capacity, handling sample volumes from 10 to 100 µL.
Key technical features include:
- Block Configurations:
- MiniAmp: 96-well isothermal uniform block
- MiniAmp Plus: 3-zone Veriflex 96-well block enabling differential temperature cycling within the block, critical for complex amplification protocols.
- Temperature Control:
- Range: 0–100.0°C with ±0.25°C accuracy (35–99.9°C)
- Uniformity: <0.5°C variation, 30 seconds after reaching 95°C, ensuring reproducible amplification cycles
- Ramp rates:
- MiniAmp: Max block ramp 3.0°C/s, sample ramp 2.2°C/s
- MiniAmp Plus: Max block ramp 3.5°C/s, sample ramp 2.7°C/s, supporting Fast and Standard reaction modes suitable for high-throughput PCR and bioprocessing applications
- User Interface and Connectivity:
- Full-color touchscreen control for protocol setup with guided microprocessor system
- Cloud-enabled via Thermo Fisher Connect, supporting remote monitoring and protocol customization via desktop or mobile devices
- USB port for transfer and storage of up to 1,000 user-defined PCR protocols, with 2,000 MB onboard memory
- Power Compatibility: 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 500W, enabling global usage in research and clinical diagnostic laboratories
This thermal cycler is widely adopted in synthetic biology research, molecular cloning workflows, and biomanufacturing pipelines, providing flexibility and reliability for amplification of DNA samples. Its compact design and advanced temperature cycling capabilities make it essential for live-cell imaging protocols dependent on rapid, precise PCR timing and thermal uniformity.
All Applied Biosystems lab instruments are backed by manufacturer standard warranty and quality assurance. For questions regarding application in your molecular diagnostics or biotechnology research, technical support is readily available.
