我的PCR反应管在实验后变形了。问题在哪里?

热循环仪的热盖经过设计可保证对微孔板施加合适的压力,以获得高效的PCR反应。使用PCR反应管时,热盖对反应管的压力过大可导致反应管变形。为避免出现这种情况,我们建议使用下述托盘/固定装置:

•货号4381850,用于Veriti系统的MicroAmp 96孔托盘/固定装置——这一托盘适用于MicroAmp联管(或MicroAmp无盖反应管,0.2 mL),和Veriti热循环仪、SimpliAmp热循环仪和Proflex PCR系统兼容。
•货号403081,MicroAmp 96孔托盘/固定装置——这一托盘适用于MicroAmp联管(或MicroAmp无盖反应管,0.2 mL),可用于7000系统、2720热循环仪和GeneAmp 9700型PCR系统。
•货号4379983,用于VeriFlex模块的MicroAmp 96孔托盘——这一托盘适用于MicroAmp联管(或MicroAmp带盖反应管,0.1 mL),可用于Veriti热循环仪、Veriti快速热循环仪、SimpliAmp热循环仪和Proflex PCR系统。

如果Veriti热循环仪的温度不均一性测试失败了,我该怎么办?

如果测试失败:
1.应确认:
◦TVK校准是最新的。
◦探头无破裂或损坏。
2.在棉签上滴2-3滴矿物油。用棉签在每个探头的圆锥表面涂上薄薄一层油,改善热量传递。
3.重复 多探头温度验证试剂盒使用指南(https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/manuals/4460108A.pdf)里“运行96孔仪器测试之前”的步骤。
4.应确认:
◦探头牢固固定在合适的检测孔里。
◦电缆与端口牢固连接。
◦带状电缆平放在热熔保险器下方并且无折叠。
◦加热盖关闭并锁住。
5.重复 多探头温度验证试剂盒使用指南(https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/manuals/4460108A.pdf)里“运行测试”步骤。

请注意,如果检测再次失败,请发送邮件至instrumentservices@thermofisher.com联系Thermo Fisher Scientific。

Why are my PCR tubes crushed/deformed after my PCR run?

The heated thermal cycler lid is designed to make sure that optimized pressure is applied on the microplate for an efficient PCR reaction. When using PCR tubes, excess pressure on the tubes, from the heated lid can cause deformation of the tubes. To avoid this, we recommend using the Tray/Retainer set, as shown below:

Cat. No. 4381850, MicroAmp 96-Well Tray/Retainer Set for Veriti Systems – This Tray is for use with MicroAmp Strip Tubes (or MicroAmp Reaction Tubes without Caps, 0.2 mL), with the Veriti Thermal Cycler, SimpliAmp Thermal Cycler, and Proflex PCR System.
Cat. No. 403081, MicroAmp 96-Well Tray/Retainer Set – This Tray is for use with MicroAmp Strip Tubes (or MicroAmp Reaction Tubes without Caps, 0.2 mL), with the 7000 System, 2720 Thermal Cycler, and GeneAmp PCR System 9700.
Cat. No. 4379983, MicroAmp 96-Well Tray for VeriFlex Blocks – This Tray is for use with MicroAmp Strip Tubes (or MicroAmp Reaction Tubes with Caps, 0.1 mL), with the Veriti Thermal Cycler, Veriti Fast Thermal Cycler, SimpliAmp Thermal Cycler, and Proflex PCR System.

Please take a look at this video: How to Use Adapter Tray Retainers in Thermal Cycler Starter Kits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uh2ZxZJtgs).

What should I do if my Veriti Thermal Cycler fails the temperature non-uniformity test?

If the test fails:

1.Verify that the:
-Calibration of the TVK is up-to-date.
-Probe tips are not cracked or damaged.
2.Dispense 2 to 3 drops of mineral oil onto a cotton swab. Use the swab to apply a thin film of oil to the cone surface of each probe to improve heat transfer.
3.Repeat the steps in “Before You Run 96-Well Instrument Tests” from the Multiprobe Temperature Verification Kit User Guide (http://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/manuals/4460108A.pdf).
4.Verify that the:
-Probes are seated securely in the appropriate test wells.
-Cables are connected securely to the ports.
-Ribbon cable lies flat under the thermal cutout and is not crimped.
-Heated cover is closed and locked down.
5.Repeat the steps in “Run the Test” from the Multiprobe Temperature Verification Kit User Guide (http://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/manuals/4460108A.pdf). Please note, if the test fails again, contact us at instrumentservices@thermofisher.com.

My tubes are melting. What is wrong?

This can happen if the wrong plastics are used, or if the tubes are not being used with the correct tray/retainer set. Check the manual for directions on appropriate loading of the sample. Also, you can check for compatible plastics from here (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/pcr/pcr-plastics.html).

How do the VeriFlex Blocks work on the Veriti Thermal Cycler?

The Veriti Thermal Cycler with a 96-well block (Fast and Standard) features innovative VeriFlex Blocks for enhanced PCR functionality. Six separate Peltier blocks provide maximal versatility and flexibility and offer two key benefits:
1. PCR optimization: each block can be set with a specific temperature, which is ideal for precise control over PCR optimization.
2. Run more experiments: the six Peltier blocks can also be used to run up to six different annealing temperatures in the same run.

What is the Auto Delta feature on the Veriti Thermal Cycler?

The AutoDelta feature allows you to incrementally increase or decrease the temperature or hold time with each cycle for a given step within a cycling stage. One common application for this is touchdown PCR.

What is the max block ramp rate of the Veriti Thermal Cycler?

The 96-Well Block has a 3.9 degrees C/sec max block ramp rate, the 96-Well Fast Block has a 5.0 degress C/sec max block ramp rate, the 384- Well Block has a 3.7 degrees C/sec max block ramp rate, and the 60-Well Block has a 3.3 degrees C/sec max block ramp rate.

What types of plastics can I use with the Veriti Thermal Cycler?

The plates and plastics will be specific to the block type. Choose the appropriate block type below for a list of the compatible tubes, plates, and films.

-Veriti 60-Well
-Veriti 96-Well 0.1 mL
-Veriti 96-Well 0.2 mL
-Veriti 384-Well

What types of blocks are available on the Veriti Thermal Cycler?

The Veriti Thermal Cycler is available in four formats:

Have you tested the Veriti and VeritiPro Thermal Cyclers in low humidity conditions (below 20%)?

The recommended conditions are determined to ensure no static discharge (low humidity) occurs.
Recommended Conditions:
- Veriti: 20-80% humidity
- VeritiPro: 15-80% humidity
We have not tested Veriti and VeritiPro thermal cyclers in low humidity, below 20%, therefore we cannot recommend using them in those conditions.

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.
