Thermal Cyclers by Bioer the trusted name in thermal cycler technology
Pioneering collaboration with tried and tested technology
Chances are you've never heard of Bioer. However they are a force to be reckoned with in the Thermal Cycler field. In fact their Peltier technology forms the heart of many leading thermal cyclers throughout the world. So you have probabaly already been using their products in your current thermal cycler.
Bioer's name derives from 'Biological Pioneer' and they are one of the largest suppliers of PCR equipment in the world. Though you may not see their name on the package you have probably already used a product made with their expertise! Bioer Technology Ltd. is Japanese owned and founded by the Ferrotec Corporation Tokyo Japan - the world leader in the manufacture of Peltier elements.
They are committed to researching and manufacturing hi-tech products for life science laboratories including thermal cyclers, heating and cooling blocks and other equipment.
A few years ago they decided to make their technology available under their own name. All their expertise and experience is built into a superb range of Thermal Cyclers and life science equipment. These are produced in a state of the art facility in Hangzhou, China (see pictures). This massive unit has a floor space of 26,000m2 and utilises the latest computer technology throughout the production process that strictly follows the international ISO13485 standard for medical devices.
Bioer are delighted to work with Alpha Laboratories to provide top class service and expertise to complement their superb products.
The Thermal Cyclers from Bioer have a fine pedigree built in, and as you'd expect from a leading manufacturer, there are plenty of good reasons to choose Bioer and Alpha for your next cycler.

GenePro Thermal Cycler
The advanced GenePro Thermal Cycler has excellent temperature uniformity and control to ensure rapid thermal cycling and reliable results. It's also highly versatile with its interchangeable blocks that allow you to use a complete range of consumables. The gradient blocks, in either 96 or 384 well format, provide the opportunity to optimise protocols efficiently. The dual block gives the additional benefit of running two independent cycles at the same time.
In addition, control can be directly from the unit, a computer or through a network. All options are easy and intuitive to use making viewing, editing and running protocols fast and efficient. GenePro is ideal for PCR applications in molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, medical, food industry, forensics, environmental science and many other fields.
Latest generation design with multiple functions from Bioer
Five blocks from which to choose
The GenePro main body accepts five interchangeable blocks for superb adaptability. The special design makes block change more convenient and fast. Blocks are automatically detected by the instrument without manual setting. The uniquely designed dual blocks can be run at the same time with two different PCR programmes. The large screen shows the operational status of each block in real time so that one machine equates to two thermal cyclers!
The use of advanced peltier technology and multi-sensor modules ensure that the gradient blocks can produce a maximum 30°C gradient range, thus greatly reducing the time for optimising PCR conditions.
Product features:
- Excellent temperature uniformity
- Precision temperature control
- Protected data storage
- Long life peltier technology
- Network control functionality
- Large LCD screen
- USB connectivity
Highly Flexible
Two temperature control modes - block or tube simulation control mode.
Three kinds of data storage - instrument, USB flash memory interface, LAN networked to a computer.
Three modes of operation - computer controlled, stand alone, LAN networked.
Five blocks for ultimate flexibility.
Blocks are made from aluminium alloy. All blocks have integral hot-lid and are temperature and pressure adjustable, except for the in-situ block.
