ANALYTIK JENA qTOWER³ 84 auto (230 V)

qTOWER³ 84 auto (230 V)
The qTOWER³ auto is the go-to solution for robotic qPCR workflows. The system combines Analytik Jena’s patented optical technology, Biometra´s proven thermal cycler technology, user convenience, data integrity and unique adaptability. It is ideal for routine labs looking to increase throughput, reliability and quality of their qPCR results for applications like genotyping, genomic profiling, biomarker analysis or drug discovery.
Description
Thanks to its modular design concept (separate block module and control unit) and its small footprint, the qTOWER³ 84 auto is perfectly adapted to the special requirements of automation technology. Equipped with a movable sample tray, the device can be automatically loaded and unloaded with microplates. An ideal excitation and detection of the targets is achieved by its proven fiber optic shuttle system. The hig performance Peltier technology and high-quality block materials ensure outstanding thermal homogeneity, maximum speed and accuracy.
