Mastercycler nexus brings the reliability and ease of use of an Eppendorf cycler at an affordable price. Low energy consumption, easy expansion to 3 units and a small footprint make it not only fit to your budget, but also to your precious lab space. Due to the flexlid concept, the cycler can deal with all types of PCR consumables, from low volume all the way up to 0.5 mL PCR tubes. Of course, all common PCR plates fit – and if your throughput becomes even higher, you can just connect one or two Mastercycler nexus eco to your Mastercycler nexus.
Gradient with SteadySlope Technology
The gradient option of the Mastercycler nexus features the SteadySlope technology to ensure that the heating and cooling ramp rates are identical in both gradient and normal operation. Thus, you can expect identical temperature control characteristics in both optimization and routine experiments. Programming the gradient is easy and intuitive – so that novice users can get started quickly and safely.
A true gradient with 12 different temperatures is an extremely powerful tool that can help you to optimize your PCR.
The new Mastercycler X1 combines the modern and intuitive software with a fast 96-well silver block for increased heating and cooling rates.
NOTE: Mastercycler Nexus Eco Units (1215V60, 1205T76, 1205T77, 1205T78 and 1205T79) need to be connected to a Mastercycler Nexus Main Unit. They will not function independently.
