The Eppendorf Mastercycler
nexus family of PCR instruments offer excellent reproducibility, low noise
emission and the versatility to use all types of consumables. Up to three units
may be combined for higher throughput, while software capability enables users
to access a booking schedule for the instrument and receive email notification
when the PCR cycle is finished. Low energy consumption and a small footprint
add to the advantages of the Mastercycler nexus for both academic and
industrial research laboratories.
Designed to be affordable,
flexible and reliable, the Mastercycler nexus incorporates Eppendorf's flexlid
TM
concept with automatic height adjustment of the lid. In combination with the
universal block this allows use of the widest variety of PCR consumables, from
large 0.5 mL tubes down to low profile plates and strips, and therefore a
correspondingly wide range of reaction volumes. Excellent block homogeneity and
temperature accuracy deliver highly reproducible results. The Mastercycler
nexus gradient model provides a true gradient with 12 different temperatures
and features SteadySlope technology to ensure that the heating and cooling ramp
rates are identical in both optimisation and routine experiments.
With low noise emission,
unrivalled at only <40 dB(A), the Mastercycler nexus will not disturb an
environment where complex work is carried out. Energy efficiency is a further
benefit: only 0.154 kWh are needed for a PCR and standby power consumption is 6
W. The small footprint and front-to-back ventilation system save space and
allow units to be placed side-by-side. To increase PCR throughput one or two
Mastercycler nexus eco modules (with no control buttons or display) may be
connected to the Mastercycler nexus.
According to Dr Kay Körner,
International Senior Product Manager PCR, ‘The Mastercycler nexus is ideal for
all PCR applications, from large volume to small volume, including emulsion
PCR, in situ PCR, and low to high throughput. The combination of low noise
levels, mainly due to less ventilation, with excellent temperature accuracy and
high energy efficiency make the Mastercycler nexus a true masterpiece of
engineering.'
