VeritiPro Thermal Cycler: Better-Than-Gradient PCR Optimization

The VeritiPro Thermal Cycler comes with two options:

1. 96-well fixed block with 6 VeriFlex zones for user-independent temperature control
2. 384-well fixed and isothermal block

Linear gradient PCR optimization

Gradient temperature control is a feature of thermal cyclers to help primer annealing in PCR. However, thermal cyclers equipped with “better-than-gradient” technology are alternatives that help improve temperature control for primer annealing. These metal blocks often come with three or more segmented blocks, each with separate heating and cooling elements. VeritiPro Thermal Cycler is equipped with “better-than-gradient” technology, namely Veriflex Blocks.
