Using GeneAmp
™
PCR System 9700 run methods
Note:
This function is only available on Veriti
™
96-Well Thermal Cyclers.
The Veriti
™
Thermal Cycler has a Convert Method tool to guide you through importing existing run
methods from a GeneAmp
™
PCR System 9700 thermal cycler.
The tool is designed to create a method for the Veriti
™
Thermal Cycler with ramp rates that simulate
those on the 9700 thermal cycler. Although the ramp rates may be similar in the two methods, the
results on the Veriti
™
Thermal Cycler may differ from those from the GeneAmp
™
PCR System 9700 and,
therefore, additional optimization may be needed.
The available conversions are specific to the type of instrument:
• Veriti
™
96-Well
Fast
Thermal Cycler – Only 9700 Max
™
Mode run methods can be converted.
• Veriti
™
96-Well Thermal Cycler – Run methods in 9600 Emulation Mode or 9700 Max
™
Mode can be
converted.
Note:
Only users who can save run methods (all users except Limited Users) have access to this
function.

™
