The GeneAmp® PCR System 2400 is an automated instrument, specifically designed for the amplification of nucleic acids using the GeneAmp Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) process. The user interface consists of a control panel with a full numeric keypad, soft keys, and a graphical display screen that shows the time and temperature profile for each run.The 24-well sample block rapidly and uniformly heats and cools PCR samples.

Features

•     High-performance thermal cycler

•     Uses 0.2 (mL) MicroAmp® disposables.

•     Use of thermistor sensor for fast response to temperature changes.

•     Use of high speed, low power consumption heating elements for consistent results and        reduced operating costs.

•     NIST calibrated.

•     Incubation temperatures based an sample temperature.

•     CFC-free chiller.

Easy to use

•     Oil-free Operation.

•     8 x 3 format of 24-well sample block allows use of eight-strip tube configuration for    automated liquid handling of reagents.

•     Novel graphical display screen, shows complete PCR protocol.

•     GeneAmp PCR System 9600 protocols can be used without modification (software versions 2.0 or later).

•     Four pre-coded methods for specific PCR protocols supplied.

•     Default three- temperature PCR method can be modified to accommodate any protocol.

•     Automated incrementing of time and temperature parameters during cycling.

•     Methods can be stored with both a user name and a method name.

•     Methods can be protected from unintentional overwriting.

•     Storage capacity for up to 68 customized PCR methods.

•     Automated restart function allows for power outages and safe continuation of a PCR            experiment after resumption of power.

•     Fixed temperature heated cover with simple locking mechanism.

•     Internal instrument diagnostics.

•     Easy access to heated cover for cleaning.

A Look at the Sample Block

The sample block is a 24-well aluminum block arranged in an 8 x 3 format. You can load up to 24 samples in MicroAmp Reaction Tubes (0.2 mL) in a sample tray and place them in the block. When you move the cover forward over the sample block area, and pull the lever down, the cover exerts an even pressure on all tubes.

A Look at die Control Panel

The GeneAmp® PCR System 2400 control panel consists of a display screen and 22 keys. The display screen shows a graphical representation of PCR events, including pre-PCR holds, PCR cycling, and post-PCR holds. You use the keys to enter information into fields on the display screen.
