The ABI GeneAmp™ system 2700 is a simple, inexpensive, thermal cycler with a small footprint. The small foot-print means that this device makes good use of available bench space, allowing this device to fit into any laboratory – it will even fit easily on the researcher’s personal work bench. The desktop footprint measures only 36 x 21 cm (14.2 x 8.3”) and it stands 22 cm (8.7”) above the desk. Because the air-flow for the cooling system is located at the back of the unit, several machines can be stored and operated side-by-side, with no space between, for efficient space usage. The machine has one 96-well, Peltier-cooled, aluminium block that can accommodate single tubes, tube strips, or trays. All of these consumables are readily available from ABI and many other third-party suppliers. As with most current-model thermal cyclers, the machine has a heated lid to avoid sample evaporation.
