ABI SimpliAmp Thermal Cycler A24812 with 96-Well VeriFlex Block and WiFi Connectivity

The ABI SimpliAmp Thermal Cycler model A24812 is a precision instrument designed for molecular diagnostics and biotechnology workflows requiring highly accurate PCR thermal cycling. Key features include:

• VeriFlex Technology: Three independent temperature zones enable flexible optimization of PCR protocols across a 96-well, 0.2 mL block, essential for complex gene editing and synthetic biology applications.
• Thermal Performance: Thermal accuracy of ±0.25°C (35 to 99.9°C) with uniformity under 0.5°C at 95°C within 20 seconds ensures reproducible amplification critical in molecular cloning workflows.
• Thermal Range & Ramp Rates: Operating range from 0 to 100°C with max ramp rates of 4°C/sec (block) and 3°C/sec (sample), facilitating fast cycling suitable for high-throughput biotechnology assays.
• User Interface and Connectivity: An 8-inch color TFT LCD touchscreen offers intuitive program setup and monitoring. USB, WiFi, and Ethernet support enable seamless data backup and remote monitoring via the PCR Essentials app, supporting biomanufacturing process control.
• Heated Lid: Prevents sample evaporation during long amplification protocols, maintaining sample integrity required in molecular diagnostics and clinical research.
• Capacity: Compatible with standard 96-well plates, making it widely adopted in synthetic biology research and fluorescence analysis workflows.

Technical specifications include over 1000 programmable protocols, 600 W power consumption, and compact dimensions (46 x 24 x 21 cm). The instrument’s precision thermal control and flexible programming make it a vital tool in bioprocessing pipelines and gene editing research. Note: Device powers on without errors but shows a “Insufficient disk space available to start run” warning; minor cosmetic issues do not affect functionality.

This thermal cycler is a reliable solution for biotechnology laboratories focused on PCR-based applications including molecular diagnostics, live-cell nucleic acid analysis, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
