Description

For customers seeking to automate their PCR workflow, the Applied Biosystems Automated Thermal Cycler (ATC) provides the reliability and performance you’ve come to expect from Applied Biosystems instruments. Now in a small, easy-to-integrate, and compatible format, our Automated Thermal Cycler enables hands-free PCR results.

Space-saving design with our smallest thermal cycler footprint
• Flexible modular design helps save space on a robotic deck
• Separate control panel module provides flexibility when integrating on robotic deck
• Choice of 10-cm, 1-m, and 3-m cables allows flexibility to locate control module under thermal cycler, under deck, or up to 3 meters away

Automated lid and cycler features
• Automated lid compatible with programming for easy, hands-free operation with liquid handler or plate stacker
• Heated cover slides forward to cover plate nest, helping ensure thermal contact and eliminate evaporation
• Compatible with full-skirt or half-skirt plates

Fully integrate your automated system with our easy-to-install software
• Integrate with robot via SiLA Rapid Integration standard–compatible software and prewritten application programming interfaces (APIs) for major robotic platforms
• Test instrument using desktop software before buying robot
• Enable ATC to cycle like old instrument with Applied Biosystems 9700 system simulation modes

Use the ATC as a stand-alone PCR thermal cycler
Flexible software can be connected to your robot's software interface or used to control the ATC as a stand-alone instrument. Test your instrument using the ATC desktop application before integrating it into your robotic automation system.

Compatible plastics for optimal performance
MicroAmp EnduraPlate Optical 96-Well Full-Skirted Plates are designed for use with the ATC.
• Full-skirted polycarbonate frame constructed to ANSI/SBS standards for compatibility with robotic handling and plate stacking
• Three-way barcodes on east (A12-H12), south (H1-H12), and west (A1-A12) sides to improve plate reading efficiency
• Easy-to-read black well-identification text to minimize pipetting errors
• Available in multiple colors for easy organization of laboratory assays
• Certified DNA-, RNase-, and PCR inhibitor-free

Award-winning service and support
• Help reduce downtime with rapid exchange support
• Have our engineers perform temperature qualification at your site
