Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI 9700 #293761983 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI 9700 is a versatile and advanced thermal cycler used in molecular biology research laboratories for amplifying nucleic acid sequences through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. This lab equipment is designed to provide precise temperature control and rapid temperature changes necessary for efficient DNA amplification. It is a trusted and reliable choice for researchers working on a wide range of applications such as genotyping, gene expression analysis, and mutation detection. ABI 9700 features a thermal block or sample holder where the PCR tubes or plates containing the reaction mixture are placed during the amplification process. The thermal block is made of high-quality materials that ensure uniform temperature distribution across all samples, minimizing the risk of non-specific amplification and increasing the reproducibility of results. This precise temperature control is crucial for achieving optimal PCR efficiency and specificity. One of the key highlights of APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 9700 is its fast ramping capabilities, allowing for quick transitions between different temperature steps in the PCR cycling program. Rapid temperature changes are essential for the denaturation, annealing, and extension steps of PCR, where the DNA template is melted, primers anneal to the target sequences, and the DNA polymerase extends the primers to generate multiple copies of the target DNA fragment. 9700's rapid ramping speeds ensure that each PCR cycle is completed efficiently and accurately, reducing the total reaction time and improving overall productivity. In addition to its speed and accuracy, APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI 9700 offers a wide temperature range, typically from 4°C to 99°C, allowing researchers to perform a variety of PCR protocols requiring different annealing and extension temperatures. The instrument is equipped with a user-friendly interface that allows for easy programming of PCR cycling parameters, including temperature settings, cycle times, and the number of cycles. This flexibility makes ABI 9700 adaptable to a broad range of PCR applications, from standard amplification protocols to advanced multiplex PCR and real-time PCR assays. Furthermore, APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 9700 is designed with advanced thermal control algorithms and sensors that continuously monitor and adjust temperature fluctuations during the PCR cycling process. This ensures temperature accuracy and stability throughout the reaction, minimizing the risk of temperature gradients that can lead to suboptimal amplification and inconsistent results. The instrument also includes built-in safety features such as automatic shutoff and diagnostic alerts to prevent overheating and equipment damage. Overall, 9700 is a high-performance thermal cycler that combines speed, precision, and reliability to meet the demanding requirements of modern molecular biology research. Whether conducting routine PCR experiments or complex DNA analysis studies, researchers can trust APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI 9700 to deliver consistent and reproducible results, making it an essential tool in any molecular biology laboratory.
