The Biometra TAdvanced controls the sample block temperature without under- or overshooting the programmed target temperature. The ingenious temperature control system incorporated into our RAC (Ramping – Accuracy – Control) technology maximizes experimental reproducibility and achieves outstanding temperature control accuracy. The sample block is also perfectly sealed to prevent condensation from coming into contact with either the Peltier elements located below the sample block or with other electronic components. The seal protects the Peltier elements and extends the lifetime of the instrument.
The Biometra TAdvanced Thermal Cycler is available with different block formats. The Quick Block Exchange technology allows for an easy exchange of block modules. All blocks are made of aluminum and offer high ramp rates for fast protocol running times. Additionally, to achieve ultimate performance a 96-Well block made of silver is available. Due to the excellent heat conductivity, silver equilibrates extremely quickly, thus providing maximum speed and temperature uniformity. To protect the valuable silver blocks against corrosion the block surfaces are gold plated. Rubber sealing at the lid creates an encapsulated space when the lid is closed. The closed room serves to improve the temperature uniformity of the sample block and avoids formation of condensed water at the final PCR cooling step.
