Style

A unique retractable optical shuttle combined with the lid design to fit low-clearance shelving or multi-unit racking. The touchscreen adjusts to suit taller or shorter operator’s heights.

Its flexibility, combined with its front facing user inputs and ports and a reduced visual bulk creates a device that can fit easily in the limited real estate of traditional labs.

A patented thermal block with high thermal performance and uniformity, combined with clever design that provides front-to-rear airflow ensures consistent high performance.

Bold colour, rounded edges and crisp lines creates a modern look that’s approachable and fresh, while also remaining derivative to Bio-Rad’s existing line-up.

The Team We believe good design happens by expert people working as a team.
