Introducing the Veriti
™
Thermal Cycler
About the
Instrument
There are four models of the Veriti
™
Thermal Cycler:
• Veriti 96-Well Fast Thermal Cycler (PN 4375305), with 0.1–mL sample wells
• Veriti 96-Well Thermal Cycler (PN 4375786), with 0.2–mL sample wells
• Veriti 384-Well Thermal Cycler (PN 4388444), with 0.02–mL sample wells
• Veriti 60-Well Thermal Cycler (PN 4384638), with 0.5–mL sample wells
You control the Veriti Thermal Cycler using the touchscreen display and easy-to-use
interface. Up to twelve Veriti Thermal Cyclers can be connected in a satellite-like
format through a network switch. With this connection, you can transmit run
methods from one Veriti thermal cycler to another and start multiple thermal cyclers
at once.
The Veriti Thermal Cycler has a run recovery feature. If a power failure occurs
during a run, the instrument will attempt to continue the run when the power returns.
In addition, the Veriti 96-Well Thermal Cyclers have VeriFlex
™
Blocks. These are
six independently regulated thermal blocks to aid in designing a primer set and run
method for optimal PCR conditions.
