Biometra TAdvanced – the high-performance thermal cycler for DNA amplification by PCR

  • Twelve different sample blocks: including a 96-well silver block as high-end variant
  • Powerful control electronics: Now even an aluminum block reaches superior heating and cooling rates as usually only achieved in instruments with silver block
  • Fastest Ramping, Highest Accuracy and Intelligent Block/Well Control (RAC): high temperature uniformity and maximum reproducibility, no over- or undershooting of the programmed target temperature
  • Optional with gradient: simple optimization of new primer pairs
  • Linear Gradient Tool (LGT): specific adjustment of the gradient temperature profile
  • High Performance Smart Lid Technology (HPSL): fast heating, constant contact pressure and easy use
  • Quick Block Exchange System: easy, fast exchange of sample blocks
  • Whisper Quiet Technology: particularly quiet operation with a maximum noise level of 45 dB
  • Intuitive software: graphical programming and Easy Spreadsheet Programming
  • Multi Step Programming: easy creation of PCR protocols during programming without the need to toggle between different windows
  • Advanced User Management (AUM): flexible user management with individual assignment of user rights for single users
  • User Specific Quick Start: no tedious searching of already used PCR programs due to the combination of Quick Start and Program Preview
  • Extended Self-Test: automatic system diagnosis and documentation of PCR runs
  • Comfortable 7-inch color touch display
  • USB and Ethernet port
  • Protocol Wizard: Automatic creation of PCR protocols with few inputs
