Biometra TRIO Series

The Biometra TRIO is a unique PCR system that provides you with maximum flexibility, in which three different PCR protocols can run simultaneously or when a large sample number shall be processed.

 

Innovation and Experience for the Best PCR Results

Essential for research

For rapid success, it is essential to have suitable tools at hand. For polymerase chain reactions (PCR), optimization of the annealing temperatures is crucial when it comes to achieving accurate results. In the Biometra TRIO three-block device, the Temperature Optimization Step (TOS) function rapidly sets three different annealing temperatures in the three blocks. The programs are started simultaneously. Therefore optimal amplification conditions can be found quickly during a PCR run.

• Optimization of the PCR protocol for new primer pairs in one run
• Optimal annealing temperatures lead to the best specificity and yield
• Easy transfer of results thanks to largely linear temperature steps from column to column
• Quality through design, innovation and experiences

Biometra thermal cyclers are designed so users can rely on their results. The data accuracy of these systems pairs exceedingly well with its easy to use design.

• A sophisticated temperature control system without exceeding or falling below the target temperature ensures transparency and maximum experimental reproducibility in all block positions.
• The High-Performance Smart Lid (HPSL) ensures uniform temperatures and no condensation in the cover/block space, regardless of the plastic materials used.
• The extremely quiet operation allows for the use of a large number of cyclers in labs with office areas.
• A broad range of PCR plastics can be used due to the universal block design and adjusting cover pressure.
• Everybody finds the right thermocycler for themselves from the range of block materials and formats.
• The instruments come with low space requirements thanks to an efficient air flow design
