The main difference between the MiniAmp Plus™ Thermal Cycler and the MiniAmp™ Thermal Cycler is the block. The MiniAmp Thermal Cycler features an isothermal block, while the MiniAmp™ Plus Thermal Cycler offers an upgrade to a VeriFlex Block for PCR optimization.

MiniAmp Plus Thermal Cycler

VeriFlex Block (96-well, 0.2 mL)
Three independent temperature zones for easy PCR optimization










 

MiniAmp Thermal Cycler

Isothermal block (96-well, 0.2 mL)
Uniform block temperature for basic PCR











 

Sensivitive PCR Optimization of VeriFlex™  Blocks

Applied Biosystems™ VeriFlex™ Blocks provide a better-than-gradient approach to PCR optimization. With three independently controlled zones, you have precise control over the optimization temperatures.

• Enable extremely precise determination of optimum annealing temperatures
• Help eliminate the assumptions often associated with standard gradient cyclers
• Save time by running up to three reactions with different annealing temperatures in the same PCR run
• Use your thermal cycler as an incubator; benefit from precise temperature control

 

What is VeriFlex™ Blocks temperature controlling?

Thermal cyclers using VeriFlex technology are constructed with three or more separate heating/cooling elements under each of the three or more segmented metal blocks, as shown in the figure. Each pair of heating/cooling elements and segmented metal blocks is completely isolated from the others. to help prevent heat interactions. As a result, VeriFlex technology provides a true linear temperature gradient across metal blocks with the ability to adjust up to six different temperatures, as shown in the Figure. The user can set each temperature zone independently, providing better control of temperature optimization.
