Thermal Cycler plus 3 yr. extended warranty

The Applied Biosystems MiniAmp Thermal Cycler is a compact, accurate, and economical thermal cycler designed to fit your lab’s basic thermal cycling needs.

The Applied Biosystems MiniAmp Thermal Cycler is a compact, accurate, and economical thermal cycler designed to fit your lab's basic thermal cycling needs. The MiniAmp Thermal Cycler has a 5-inch color touchscreen, making it easy to control, and it can also be accessed through Thermo Fisher Connect, giving you the freedom to design and securely upload your methods from any mobile device or desktop computer.

Key features and benefits:

  • Small footprint—With dimensions of 19 cm wide and 39 cm deep, you can fit the MiniAmp Thermal Cycler almost anywhere. And because its airflow is front to back, you can set multiple units side by side to save valuable bench space.
  • 5-inch intuitive color touchscreen—for easy programming and training of new users
  • WiFi-enabled and accessible by Thermo Fisher Connect—giving you the freedom to design and securely upload your methods from any mobile device or desktop computer

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the optimal ramp rate for my thermal cycler?

There is no universal ramp rate for a thermal cycler because both the block and sample ramp rates are different for each thermal cycler. The sample ramp rate changes with the volume of the sample since more time and energy are required to heat higher sample volumes. The ramp rate may also need to be changed for a particular PCR assay or primer pair if you are trying to use the same PCR assay on two different thermal cyclers, for example.

As a reference, the block ramp rate commonly used with DreamTaq Polymerase on the MiniAmp thermal cycler is 3.0 C/sec. In a 50 µL PCR reaction, this translates to a sample ramp rate of ~1 C/sec.
