TProfessional Basic Gradient Thermocycler Biometra The Biometra TProfessional Basic Thermocycler is inspired by the wish to simplify molecular biology research. To reach this goal the instrument housing, lid and block were totally redesigned, providing so far unrealised speed and temperature uniformity. Innovative user software was developed, driven by Biometras 15 years experience in interface design. The result is an easy to use Thermocycler with excellent technical specifications. thermocycler pcr temps réel thermocycleur genes genes analysis analyse disk amplicon amplification taq polymerase chain reaction réaction chaîne polymérase gradient température temperature écran brillant screen bright Click here to download and use a Excel template that will help you program your protocol on the Biometra thermocyclers, create a master mix for your PCR reactions and prepare dilutions of your primers.

Thermoblock

To protect the valuable block against corrosion, the block surface is anodized with a thin gold layer. The 96 well block is designed for daily routine work and can be used with 0.2mL tubes, strips or microplates. The gradient allows rapid optimisation of new protocols.

Lid

The TProfessional Basic Lid has been optimised to achieve two essential requirements: prevention of condensation and reliable contact between samples and thermoblock. The lid is powered by Biometra® well know smart lid technology which automatically limits lid pressure to save tubes from damage. In addition, the new design of the High Performance Lid ensures an even temperature distribution between samples thus significantly improving temperature uniformity. With one press on the front button, the lid gently swings open and arrests in its end position.

User Interface

The TProfessional Basic User Interface incorporates Biometra®'s proven spreadsheet programming philosophy. Avoiding endless serial program windows, all steps of a program are entered in a single screen. This makes the creation of new or editing existing programs fast and easy. One touch leads from the spreadsheet to an alternative graphical programming mode. The TProfessional Basic manages up to 30 individual users (all password protected) and provides for a large program store.

Design

The elegant TProfessional Basic housing is designed for heavy use. Due to an optimised air stream design even higher efficiency and better temperature uniformity is achieved. The instrument works quietly and consumes little power which in turn leads to low heat emission. The compact footprint saves valuable bench space. Keypad and display have been set to an angle that ensures reflection-free viewing and ergonomic programming.

New protocols can be established even more quickly and easily now: the user copies the desired template protocol into the own folder, adjusts the annealing temperature and extension time at 72 °C to the fragment to be amplified and saves the settings - that's it ! The following protocols will be displayed in the 'Biometra Shared' folder:

• standard PCR protocol
• two different linear gradient PCR protocols (*)
• hot start PCR protocol
• rapid PCR protocol
• hot block rapid PCR protocol
• lowered deamination optimization protocol (*)
• four different Fast PCR protocols with different hold times
• long range PCR protocol
• touch-down PCR protocol
• touch-down gradient PCR protocol (*)
• two cycle sequencing protocols
• one-step RT-PCR protocol
• telomere PCR protocol
• MMLV reverse transcription protocol
