System overview

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

The Veriti

™

 Thermal Cycler is controlled using a touchscreen display with easy-to-use interface. It is

also compatible with the Applied Biosystems

™

 Thermal Cycler Fleet Control Software. 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.

This user guide provides instructions for all four models of the Veriti

™

 Thermal Cycler. Functions which

are not the same for each model are indicated by a comment such as “This function is only available for
the Veriti

™

 96-Well Thermal Cyclers”.

See Appendix D, “Instrument specifications” for detailed specifications of the Veriti

™

 Thermal Cycler.
