Analytik Jena’s Biometra TRobot II is an instrument specifically developed for the automated workflow.

In addition to the typical main application, PCR, 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 PCR system can be used. This reduces manual work and the risk of handling errors. TRobot II has outstanding heating and cooling rates and excellent temperature homogeneity across the sample block for highly reproducible PCR results.

Installation

When installing new protocols or for transferring existing protocols from other PCR sets, it is sometimes necessary to make small optimizations of the protocols. For this purpose, Biometra TRobot II includes a gradient function. With this function, it is possible to test different temperatures in the critical cycle steps of the PCR at once.

Integration

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

Another important point in automation is that all components must be robust and reliable. If a component fails in its process, the entire workflow will be stopped. With this background, Analytik Jena has developed a special, patented mechanism for opening and closing the lid on the system and with the intention of regular and continuous use. At the same time, the block structure was designed to enable the automatic flow robot arm to access the sample block from three sides. This opens up many possibilities for the placement of TRobot II.

An already implemented library allows a quick integration into automation systems. In addition, the powerful computer software, Biometra TSuite, is available for direct control of TRobot II, which is useful for first PCR runs and preparation for the actual application.

Security

User safety is ensured by a unique, touch-sensitive safety frame that immediately stops the lid closing when in contact with resistance. The smooth block surface without gaps is crucial for easy and efficient cleaning and sanitation. For stress-free work, it is also important to keep the noise level low, which is why the ventilation system has been designed to work very quietly even at high performance levels.

Summary

Biometra TRobot II gives the best results in automated flows thanks to high-performance and specifically designed functions for its purpose. Focused on automation through dedicated design and ease of integration and setup. Smart control through smooth and instructed software.
