The Analytik Jena Biometra TAdvanced Twin 48 Thermal Cycler, 115V is a high-performance dual-block system designed for labs requiring fast cycling, robust flexibility, and precise control. Accommodating 2 x 48 x 0.2 ml tubes, microplates, or 8-well strips, it features aluminum sample blocks with special alloy coating to support consistent thermal transfer across both zones.
Equipped with Quick-X-change technology, users can easily swap block modules in under 10 seconds without tools. This twin-block configuration allows for independent control of two blocks within one compact unit, ideal for parallel workflows or multi-user environments. With rapid thermal performance—up to 5.2°C/sec heating and 4.1°C/sec cooling—the system supports even the most demanding PCR protocols.
The intuitive 7″ color touchscreen provides seamless access to powerful programming features, including the Protocol Wizard, user-specific quick start, and program preview. Additional highlights include High Performance Smart Lid (HPSL) technology with adjustable lid temperature (30°C to 110°C), support for 350 stored programs, Ethernet and USB A connectivity, and automatic restart after power failure. The TAdvanced Twin 48 combines precision, speed, and adaptability for productive and efficient thermal cycling.
