Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 9800 #174616 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 9800 (ABI 9800) is a powerful PCR instrument that speeds up the process of amplifying DNA sequences. It is a compact, instrument that is primarily used by research institutions, hospitals, and other medical facilities for diagnostic testing, drug development, and for quantifying gene expression levels. The ABI APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 9800 combines simultaneous thermal cycling and detection in a single instrument that is easy to set up and use. It is designed to be robust and reliable, providing accurate results over extended periods of time. The automated thermal cycling of the ABI 9800 is done in the form of PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, which allows DNA to be amplified quickly and easily. This amplification is conducted in a solid-state block that is capable of holding up to 48 reaction tubes, known as capillaries, at the same time. The reaction chamber of the instrument has a temperature range of 4°C to 70°C and temperature accuracy of +/- +- 0.1°C. This makes it possible to precisely control each reaction to increase the accuracy of the amplification. In addition, the ABI APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 9800 has a fast response time, allowing for a maximum heating and cooling rate of 6.5°C per second. The optical detection system of the ABI 9800 is extremely sensitive, capable of detecting low concentrations of PCR products. It utilizes a light source, such as a halogen lamp, to excite fluorescent labels, or dyes, that are present in the sample and then measures the light output. The data is collected and analyzed in real-time, or at the completion of the thermal cycling cycle, making it possible to obtain results within minutes of starting a reaction. The ABI APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 9800 also provides the ability to program the system with data, including the length and temperature of each thermal cycle desired, as well as the concentration of the DNA samples. This ensures that the desired product and conditions are achieved each and every time. In addition, the instrument supports the analysis of both unlabeled and labeled DNA sequences. In laboratories where multiple reactions are run using the same sample, the ABI 9800 also offers a "memory saving" feature so that different reactions with the same sample can be run without having to reset the parameters each time. In summary, APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 9800 is an automated PCR instrument that offers a powerful, fast, and accurate approach to amplifying DNA sequences. It combines simultaneous thermal cycling and optical detection, providing results that are dependable and repeatable. As a result, this instrument is widely used in a variety of medical procedures, such as diagnostic testing, drug development, and gene expression analysis, making it invaluable in many laboratories and research facilities.
