Biometra TRIO Series 

Three PCR Devices in One 

Triple powered PCR. The Biometra TRIO provides three independent sample blocks that can run three different PCR reactions simultaneously. The Biometra TRIO represents a unique premium instrument. It’s ideal for optimizing primer annealing temperatures, which is crucial for specific and efficient PCR reactions. 

Three independent thermal cyclers in one housing  

The Biometra TRIO thermal cycler provides three independent blocks and heated lids in one housing. Thanks to the multiblock technology, three different protocols can run at the same time. The Biometra TRIO is available in different versions with three blocks for 48 x 0.2 mL tubes, 30 x 0.5 mL tubes, or as combi-block version for 48 x 0.2 mL, or 18* x 0.5 mL tubes. Therefore, the Biometra TRIO promises high parallel throughput (up to 144 x 0.2 mL samples) in combination with the flexibility to run simultaneous protocols. The Biometra TRIO is the perfect instrument for laboratories requiring high flexibility and needing to frequently optimize new PCR protocols. 

Temperature Optimization Step (TOS) 

This function allows a fast optimization of unknown annealing temperatures for new primer pairs. TOS makes use of the three sample blocks and provides three different temperatures for one selected program step. The user enters a temperature value for block 2 and sets a temperature increment for blocks 1 and 3. For maximum ease of use, the TOS program automatically starts on all three blocks simultaneously. 

Advanced comfort  

The Biometra TRIO design includes outstanding features – from strong data reliability, to ingenious temperature block control, to advanced user comfort and Whisper Quiet operation. 

• Three independent sample blocks for ultimate flexibility
