All good things must come to an end… and be replaced with something better!
This week we are proud to launch our brand new mobile PCR thermocycler - Franklin™ by Biomeme. Franklin enables multiplex real-time detection of up to 27 targets from a single sample. It’s 3 lbs, hand-held, and battery-operated for maximum portability providing you with a full day’s work out in the field on a single charge.
The Franklin™ by Biomeme thermocycler turns your smartphone into a thermocycler for real-time PCR or isothermal analysis, the gold standard in molecular detection technology. DNA or RNA can be amplified and detected in a variety of sample types. When combined with Biomeme's proprietary sample prep technology, one can achieve Sample-to-Result in 30-60 mins.
"One of the tests we're currently developing for Biomeme's mobile thermocycler is a DNA test kit for barcoding at the border. This will allow us to identify species at a country border so we can better arm law enforcement with the data they need to stop illegal trade."

Franklin™ by Biomeme comes in three different variations depending on the color channel detection you require - one9, two9 and three9. These variations give you the freedom to start small with a 1-color (Green, FAM/SYBR), 9-well portable thermocycler, but also the ability to add up to two additional color channels (Amber, TexasRedX & Red, ATTO647N) in a matter of minutes. The remote upgrade is simple and handled over-the-air via our companion mobile app, Biomeme Go.
Just like our two3 thermocycler, Franklin™ continues the trend of requiring no lab equipment, electricity or special equipment to use and is now available for purchase at shop.biomeme.com.
