Optimization of new primers in a single run

  • Temperature gradient of up to 40ºC
  • Silver block for fast heating and cooling
  • Easy to use software featuring gradient calculator

Optimization of annealing temperatures
With the TGradient annealing temperatures of new primers can be optimized in a single run. Due to a temperature gradient across the block during the annealing step, each row represents an individual temperature. Thus 12 different temperatures can be tested in a single run. After the program is completed and samples have been analyzed in a gel, according annealing temperatures can be retrieved from the instruments gradient calculator.

Easy to program
Program parameters are entered in a clear central spreadsheet. This provides two major advantages: first, all parameters of a program are displayed on one screen (no need to click through subsequent steps), secondly, this format mimics the way most users spontaneously write a thermocycling program on a sheet of paper. Thus programming a TGradient is truly intuitive.

Smart lid technology
Like all Biometra thermocyclers the TGradient features a heated lid with in-built pressure control. Thanks to a special clutch mechanism always optimum pressure is applied onto the tubes. Condensation is reliably prevented and the tubes are in perfect contact with the thermoblock.
