The ProFlex? PCR System is an end-point thermal cycler, specifically designed for the amplification of nucleic acids using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) process.

The user interface consists of a touchscreen with a graphical display that shows the time, status, and temperature for each run. A touchscreen keypad allows you to enter information into fields on the display screen.

About the system

There are five models of the ProFlex? PCR System:

Five interchangeable ProFlex? Sample Blocks are available:

The ProFlex? PCR System allows you to:

?   Run three experiments at a time with the 3x32-well, 0.2-mL block

?   Interchange the blocks (e.g. exchange the ProFlex? 3x32-Well Sample Block with the ProFlex? 96-Well Sample Block, the ProFlex? Dual 96-Well Sample Block, the ProFlex? Dual Flat Sample Block, the ProFlex? Dual 384-Well Sample Block, and vice-versa)

?   Access the system remotely through a mobile application

?   Program the instrument from the touchscreen interface

?   Simulate other PCR instruments with Thermal Simulation modes

?   Optimize your PCR with the help of the Veriflex? blocks
