Description

GeneAmp PCR System 9700

The GeneAmp PCR System 9700 is a professional laboratory thermal cycler designed for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) applications and nucleic acid amplification. Its distinctive laboratory appearance also makes it particularly suitable for TV and film production prop hire, including forensic, medical and scientific laboratory scenes.

Manufactured by Applied Biosystems, the system became widely associated with molecular biology and PCR workflows. As a result, it provides an authentic piece of laboratory equipment for productions requiring realistic scientific set dressing.

GeneAmp PCR System 9700 Laboratory Design

The system features an integrated control panel with manual keypad operation and a digital display. Its professional layout gives the unit the recognisable appearance of specialist laboratory equipment.

Depending on configuration, the system supported interchangeable sample block modules, including 96-well formats. This makes it visually suitable for recreating PCR processing and molecular biology laboratory environments.

PCR Thermal Cycler Performance

The thermal cycler uses controlled heating and cooling to perform PCR temperature cycles.

The system operates across a temperature range of approximately 4°C to 99.9°C. In addition, the sample block and heated cover create the characteristic design associated with professional PCR laboratory equipment.

GeneAmp PCR System 9700 for TV and Film Prop Hire

The GeneAmp PCR System 9700 is particularly suitable for productions that require realistic scientific or forensic equipment.

Typical applications include:

• Forensic laboratory scenes
• DNA testing laboratories
• Police forensic units
• Medical laboratories
• Scientific research environments
• Pharmaceutical laboratory sets
• University laboratory scenes
