Analytik Jena AG will be appearing at BIOTECHNICA 2015, the leading international trade show for biotechnology, with the new Biometra TRIO thermal cycler.

The Biometra TRIO is based on the successful successor model TProfessional TRIO, features a 7’’ colored touch screen and a completely new software interface and has a very low noise emission. The three independent blocks and heated lids allow the run of three different PCR protocols simultaneously with superior ramping rates. “Thanks to the powerful electronics, the Biometra TRIO blocks can reach fastest heating and cooling rates of up to 5 °C/s”, as Alexander Berka, General Manager of the Life Science business unit at Analytik Jena, explains.

The software offers a comfortable user management with individually assignable user rights settings. A single touch leads from the easy spreadsheet to the graphical programming and the optional temperature optimization step (TOS) function that can be used to find the optimal annealing temperature of new primer pairs. Additionally, the software offers for example extensive USB functions, the backup function for saved programs, users and user rights settings and a multi block start and stop function.

Biometra TRIO Thermal Cycler – Triple powered PCR

Analytik Jena GmbH+Co. KG

Threefold power for maximum flexibility in PCR. The thermal cycler Biometra TRIO provides three independent sample blocks which can run three different PCR reactions in parallel. The instrument is available with different sample blocks: 3x48 well for 0.2 ml tubes, 3x30 well for 0.5 ml tubes or 3x combi block for 48 well 0.2 ml tubes or 18x0.5 ml tubes each. Thus, this thermocycler offers high throughput in parallel operation (up to 144x0.2 ml samples) in combination with the flexibility to run different protocols. This makes the Biometra TRIO thermal cycler the perfect instrument for laboratories with the demand for high flexibility and the need to optimize new PCR-protocols often. Three independent thermal cyclers in one housing. The Biometra TRIO thermal cycler is the only instrument that provides three independent blocks and heated lids in one housing. Thanks to the multiblock technology three different independent protocols can be run in parallel. This thermocycler offers high throughput in parallel operation (up to 144x0.2 ml samples) in combination with the flexibility to run different protocols.   Features: Three Block System: Three independent sample blocks for ultimate flexibility Fastest Ramping, highest Accuracy, Block/Well Control: Superior sample block temperature control Whisper Quiet: Low noise emission of max. 45 dB High Performance Smart Lid (HPSL): Defined pressure control for highly reproducible results Temperature Optimization STEP (TOS): TOS-technology to determine the optimal annealing temperature Advanced User Management (AUM): Individual rights settings for each user
