Product Details - Biometra TRobot II Automated PCR Machine

Excellent performance for automated PCR and molecular biology workflows

In addition to standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the Biometra TRobot II is also suitable for all other molecular biological or chemical incubations in PCR plates. For example, the generation of libraries for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is an important step in a larger workflow where the automated thermal cycler can be used. This reduces the manual effort and the possibility of errors. 

The Biometra TRobot II automated PCR machine has outstanding heating and cooling rates and excellent temperature homogeneity across the sample block for highly reproducible PCR results. For the setup of new protocols, or for the transfer of existing protocols from other thermal cyclers, it is sometimes necessary to make slight optimizations to the protocols. For this purpose, the Biometra TRobot II includes a gradient function – making it possible to test different temperatures in the critical annealing step of the PCR in one run.

Ideal PCR machine for fully automated PCR systems

In automated systems, compact components with the smallest possible footprint are particularly important. The Biometra TRobot II meets this requirement through its modular design with a compact PCR module that is placed directly on the automation deck, while the controller can be stored underneath the platform.

Another important point in automated PCR is that all components should be very robust and reliable. If one component fails, the entire workflow comes to a halt. That’s why we have developed a special patented mechanism for opening and closing the lid of the Biometra TRobot II, which is intended for permanent use. Additionally,  the block was designed to enable the gripper to access the sample block from three sides. This opens up many possibilities for positioning the thermal cycler on the deck.

 

This automated PCR machine may be your new best labmate

A conveniently prepared library allows for fast integration into automation systems. In addition, the Biometra TSuite software can directly control the automated thermal cycler, which is helpful for first PCR runs in preparation for the actual application. Maximum user safety is ensured with a unique, touch-sensitive safety frame which immediately stops the lid closing when resistance is detected. The smooth block surface without gaps is essential for easy and effective cleaning and decontamination. For stress-free work it is also important to keep the noise level low. The ventilation system has been designed to remain very quiet, even at high performance levels. This allows you to work next to Biometra TRobot II and maintain concentration!

Biometra TSuite User-friendly software for operating thermal cyclers in a network

The Biometra TRobot II automated PCR machine is completely controlled by external software – typically integrated into the robot software or via the Biometra TSuite software. This software offers a full range of functions for controlling the cycler, creating programs, managing the device and documenting its relevant states and actions in detail. Encrypted data transmission ensures the integrity and security of your data. Various log files enable GMP-compliant use, and in the event of malfunction, help locate the cause of the error prior to a service visit. Up to 1,000 devices can be managed by the software.
