Eppendorf Mastercycler Nexus SX1 96-Well Thermal Cycler with Peltier Technology for PCR

The Eppendorf Mastercycler Nexus SX1 is a robust benchtop thermal cycler optimized for precision PCR amplification, widely used in molecular biology and biotechnology laboratories. It features a silver thermal block accommodating up to 96x 0.2 mL PCR tubes, 77x 0.5 mL PCR tubes, or a 96-well PCR plate, making it essential for high-throughput workflows including gene editing and molecular diagnostics.

Key technical specifications include a broad temperature control range of 4–99°C with exceptional accuracy (≤ ±0.2°C) and block homogeneity (±0.3°C at 20-72°C, ±0.4°C at 95°C). The unit employs peltier elements combined with triple circuit technology enabling rapid cycling: an approximate heating rate of 5°C/s and cooling rate of 3.5°C/s, critical for efficient DNA amplification and real-time PCR applications.

Designed with an ergonomic flex lid and low power consumption of 540W, the Nexus SX1 integrates seamlessly into bioprocessing and synthetic biology pipelines. Connectivity options include USB, Ethernet, and CAN in/out interfaces for streamlined data management and integration into laboratory networks. This model is particularly suitable for research involving live-cell analysis, molecular cloning, and biopharmaceutical production requiring reliable thermocycling performance.

Compact dimensions (25 x 41.2 x 32.1 cm) and a weight of approximately 11.2 kg ensure convenient placement in standard lab environments. The device does not include a built-in computer but is compatible with external PCs for protocol management and data analysis, facilitating advanced biotechnology workflows.
