RAZOR Mk II
Identify biological threats directly on-site

The RAZOR Mk II is a fully mobile PCR analyser, which can be loaded on-site with sample material and delivers clear results within less than 30 minutes. Sample preparation and handling are designed so that no specialist staff is needed! During first contact, soldiers, emergency management task forces or security staff employed during sensitive major public events can immediately start analysing the threat and thus save time and lives.
Advantages
- Complete mobility thanks to its battery operation (up to 8 PCR cycles per load), compact size (25,4 x 11,4 x 19 cm), low weight (<5 kg) and stand-alone operation (no need for a PC).
- Operation even under extreme conditions (0 °C – 40 °C).
- No sample preparation = no need for specialist staff. Just load the reaction chamber with the sample and you are good to go! All reagents are already included.
- Analyser is ready for PCR in less than 5 minutes.
- Reaction chamber is able to test for 10 pathogens at the same time.
- Ultrafast real-time PCR enables analyses at an unprecedented speed of <30 minutes.
- Clear Yes/No results incl. positive and negative controls.
- Incl. software for management of data.
- All reagents can be stored at room temperature when lyophilised, no need for cooling.
- Test runs with test kits available.
