Biometra TAdvanced Twin 48 Thermal Cycler

The TAdvanced Twin PCR Thermal Cycler from Biometra pushes the boundaries of modern thermal cycler technology. The TAdvanced Twin combines the versatility and performance of the Biometra TAdvanced with the flexibility and renowned durability of the Biometra TRIO to create a PCR thermal cycler suitable for all users and all applications.

 

The TAdvanced Twin allows two different users to run two different PCR protocols at the same time. High performance electronics ensure excellent heating and cooling rates, unrivaled block temperature uniformity, and best-in-class temperature control accuracy.

 

The heated lid is fully adjustable, and does not require the use of proprietary plastic ware or special lid retainers for compatibility.  For convenience, Biometra has implemented a responsive 7” color touchscreen and modern operating system with intuitive programming modes. The TAdvanced Twin is available in both gradient and non-gradient models, and all models include a complete three year warranty.
