SimpliAmp Thermal Cycler

System innovations
Our ProFlex, Veriti, and SimpliAmp thermal cyclers have
updated color touch-screens for easy programming and
monitoring of your run status at the bench. Simulation modes
allow easy transition from previous thermal cyclers by simulating
the ramp speed of your old instrument.

VeriFlex technologyan innovative way to do PCR

The ProFlex, Veriti, and SimpliAmp systems feature VeriFlex Blocks for enhanced PCR functionality.
Separate Peltier blocks provide maximal versatility and exibility, and offer these key benets:

More precise control

More than just for PCR optimisation

PCR optimisation: each block can be set with up to

six specic temperatures, which is ideal for precise
control over PCR optimisation

VeriFlex Blocks have an additional benet over

gradient thermal cyclers: since the Peltier blocks
are separate, its possible to run up to six different
temperatures in the same protocol step (Figure 1)

A better-than-gradient approach
VeriFlex Blocks maintain their thermal
characteristics between optimising and isothermal
conditions, eliminating the need for further
optimisation steps

Tired of water baths? Incubate samples at up to six

different temperatures simultaneously for enzyme
activation studies, restriction digests, or sequencing
library preps

set for six different primers. (B) VeriFlex Blocks: six individual Peltier blocks. (C) PCR results showing six primer sets run in a single
PCR amplification cycle. The Veriti 96-Well Thermal Cycler can run six assays at six annealing temperatures during the same PCR run.

E-Gel Imager System

Revolutionising gel
electrophoresis documentation
The E-Gel Imager System makes agarose gel
documentation and analysis personal. Now you
can get the power and features of a larger and
more complex gel imaging system combined
with the sleek footprint and affordability of a
benchtop device.
Affordablethe least expensive imaging system available with a scientic-grade camera
Space savingts on most benchtops, light enough to be moved easily
Easy to usesimple setup and intuitive software for analysis of E-Gel gels or other agarose gels
Quality imagescapture sharp, rich images, even during a run, that can be analysed using powerful
Gel Quant Express software
Convenientwith a personal imager you can reduce the wait time and the need to reprogramme
your settings that you would have with other larger, shared systems
A exible system to meet your workow needs
The E-Gel Imager System is the perfect solution for
documenting any E-Gel precast agarose gel, and its
great for self-cast gels as well. Each E-Gel Imager
System includes a camera hood and interchangeable
base, and the bases are available separately as well.
Choose from these three base options:
1 Blue-light transilluminator use to excite innovative
SYBR dyes like those found in E-Gel EX gels or in
SYBR Safe stain
2 UV transilluminator best for traditional ethidium
bromide-stained gels
3 E-Gel Adaptor Base allows real-time gel
documentation with compatible E-Gel Go! or E-Gel
iBase System/EGSI

Life Technologies | Benchtop equipment for your lab

There are three interchangeable lters to provide even greater

exibility to capture images of various stains - including the orange
universal lter, a green lter optimal for SYBR stains, and a redhued lter for use with Molecular Probes Qdot 625 products.

1. Choose your conguration.

Do a quick check or more in-depth analysis

Its easy to quickly capture an image any time you run a gel. For many
applications, estimating the size and quantity of nucleic acid in a
certain band in a gel is important for downstream steps. The E-Gel
Imager Gel Quant Express software was designed for just this type of
image analysis after capture. Use this full-featured yet uncomplicated
software to document, quantitate, and analyse your results.

2. Preview your image and adjust

brightness, sensitivity, and exposure
time on the main imaging screen. In this
example an E-Gel EX 2% gel is being
imaged using blue-light transillumination.

The perfect gel imaging solution

The E-Gel Imager System is the perfect solution for documenting
and analysing your agarose gel results. Order your E-Gel Imager
System today, and experience the exceptional exibility and power to
capture and analyse images of your agarose gels more conveniently
than ever before.

Glass ber embedded in the iBind Card allows the antibody
and wash solutions to ow at a constant rate over the western
membrane, and a wick attached to one end of the iBind Card
pulls liquid across the card and membrane. Just load your
solutions and walk away.
All antibody binding and washing steps are automated for you
No electricity or battery required
Compatible with HRP- and AP-conjugated antibodies

EVOS Cell Imaging Systems

Eliminating the complexities of microscopy

An EVOS system is a must-have in your lab for cell imaging whether youre capturing
images for publication, teaching, or research.
EVOS systems were designed to allow researchers
to focus on their data rather than worrying about the
operation of a microscope.
From cell culture to complex protein analysis and
multi-channel uorescence imaging, EVOS imaging
systems help you perform a variety of routine and
speciality applications.

Improved workow
EVOS systems are designed to work together
from the initial cell culture check (for viability and
morphology) to more complex analyses such as
time lapse and image tiling and stitching. An EVOS
system will allow you to spend more time analysing
imagesand less time trying to capture images.

Our proprietary LED light cube technology minimises

photobleaching, offers >50,000 hours of LED
illumination, and allows adjustable intensitywith no
darkroom and no consumable costs.
