Eppendorf this week launched the Mastercycler Nexus family of PCR instruments.

The Mastercycler Nexus has been optimized to provide excellent reproducibility, low noise emission, low energy consumption, a small footprint, and versatility across all consumable types, Eppendorf said.

Up to three of the units can be combined for higher throughput. Other technological innovations include Flexlid automatic lid height adjustment capabilities and SteadySlope-enabled synchronized heating and cooling ramp rates.
