Looking to automate your PCR workflow? The Applied Biosystems Automated Thermal Cycler (ATC) offers the flexibility, reliability, and performance needed in a complete PCR automation system.
What is automated PCR?
Automated PCR refers to the use of automated systems and instruments to perform the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, which is a widely used molecular biology method for amplifying DNA samples that helps in reducing manual errors and cross-contamination while providing accurate, reproducible results by saving manual hands-on time.
PCR automation system designed for easy robotic integration
- Flexible modular design saves space on deck
- Easy-to-install software solutions for robotic integration: SiLA Rapid Integration™ standard-compatible
- Software and prewritten application programming interfaces (APIs)
- Free software for stand-alone operation allows assay optimization before integration
Optimized features for automated PCR workflows
- Automated lid for hands-free operation with a liquid handler or plate stacker
- Heated cover slides forward to cover the plate nest, enabling thermal contact and minimizing evaporation
- Automated plate ejectors help ensure consistent plate positioning for half-skirted or fully skirted 96-well plates
We are currently working with robotics/liquid handling system manufacturers on the development of drivers compatible with ATC. Please contact our Technical Support for any questions regarding driver development and robotic integration.
