PCR SYSTEMS
Veriti Dx Thermal Cycler
™
For in vitro diagnostic use*
The first endpoint thermal cycler for in vitro
diagnostic use* from Applied Biosystems,
your trusted source for consistent, reliable
PCR, run after run
If you need the proven reliability of Applied Biosystems® 9600 and 9700 GeneAmp® systems
in an instrument that is available for in vitro diagnostic use,* the Veriti™ Dx Thermal Cycler
delivers. Available in 0.2 mL 96-well format, it features a powerful color touch screen to
simplify instrument setup and use.
Additionally, the Veriti™ Dx 96-Well Thermal Cycler features six independent-temperature
VeriFlex™ Blocks, giving you precise control for PCR optimization and the ability to run six
different thermal cycling profiles at once. The option to run fast or standard PCR methods
offers the flexibility to shorten your PCR cycling time.
*Available for in vitro diagnostic use. The Applied Biosystems® Veriti™ Dx Thermal Cycler amplifies human nucleic acid samples for diagnostic
applications. The Veriti™ Dx system is to be used only by operators trained in laboratory techniques and procedures. For use in the United
States of America and specific European countries only. Customer is responsible for any validation of assays, reagents, and consumables, and
compliance with any regulatory requirements that pertain to their procedures and instrument use.

Enhanced PCR functionality
The Veriti™ Dx 96-Well Thermal Cycler features innovative
VeriFlex™ Blocks for enhanced PCR functionality. Six
separate Peltier blocks provide maximal versatility and
flexibility for your diagnostic development.
A better-than-gradient approach
VeriFlex™ Blocks on the Veriti™ Dx Thermal Cycler provide a
better-than-gradient approach to PCR optimization. With six
separate Peltier blocks, you can precisely set and control the
temperature in each block.

•Run up to six separate temperatures in the same plate to
determine the optimal annealing temperature.
•VeriFlex™ Blocks maintain their thermal characteristics
between optimizing and isothermal conditions, minimizing
the need for further optimization steps.
For more than just PCR optimization
VeriFlex™ Blocks have an additional benefit over gradient
thermal cyclers. Since the Peltier blocks are separate, you
can run up to six different temperatures in the same protocol
step (Figure 1).
•Run up to six different annealing temperatures for
cycle sequencing or endpoint PCR.
•Incubate samples at six different temperatures
simultaneously.

amplification cycle. The Veriti™ Dx 96-Well Thermal Cycler can run six
assays at six annealing temperatures during the same PCR run.
Powerful, yet simple to operate
Control at your fingertips
The powerful yet simple-to-operate user interface on the
Veriti™ Dx system is driven by the 6.5 inch (16.51 cm) color
touch screen. The large screen allows for easy viewing
of your temperature profiles (Figure 2). Additionally, the
large navigation buttons put programming of the Veriti™ Dx
Thermal Cycler at your fingertips. Setup and navigation do
not require the use of a stylus or mouse.
Fast setup, fast results
The Veriti™ Dx system provides two options for method
navigation. You can program your own methods by simply
touching the steps on the screen to select them, and then
using the touch pad to enter thermal cycling values (Figure
3). Then, you can create a shortcut to your protocol, so that
you can quickly and easily program the thermal cycler to run
that protocol again. In addition, you can save the method to
the instrument or to a USB storage device.
Figure 3. Edit Run screen on the
Veriti™ Dx Thermal Cycler. Simply touch a
step and enter new values using the keypad (not shown) to create new methods
or to alter existing ones.

Compact footprint, convenient tools
Network multiple thermal cyclers
Simultaneously control up to 12 Veriti™ Dx systems by
connecting them in a satellite format. Simply connect the
Veriti™ Dx systems to a network switch and you can start a
run from any Veriti™ Dx Thermal Cycler. This allows you to
start multiple thermal cyclers at once from one location. This,
combined with side-by-side placement of Veriti™ Dx systems,
provides you with a more flexible, space-saving alternative to
other four-block thermal cyclers.
Simple data transfer
A convenient USB port is built into all Veriti™ Dx systems
to simplify data transfer and product updates (Figure 4).

•Portability—transfer methods between Veriti™ Dx systems
via their USB ports
•Security—store your most important methods on
USB memory sticks or any USB storage device
•Storage—store an unlimited number of methods
using USB storage devices

Thermal Cyclers are vented in the front and back so that you can place
them side by side.
