The Amaxa Nucleofector II allows users rapid and reliable transfection of primary cells by selecting the cell type-specific Nucleofector Kit (sold separately) and Amaxa Optimized Protocol for accelerated startup and deliver your substrate straight to the nuclei of even non-dividing primary cells.
Additionally, this system features up to 99% transfection efficiency with the unparalleled viability and unaltered functionality that make for truly informative assay as well as 20 μl transfection volumes in 96-well format and specialized Small Cell Number (SCN) Nucleofector® Kits maximize savings by allowing as few as 1.5 x 104 cells and 200 ng DNA per transfection.
Testing
Most of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that it operates properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. While we can’t test for a specific analytical application, we simulate the conditions under which the equipment runs in a lab.
If you have particular testing requirements or requests please let us know. We’ll work to address these requirements during testing.
Pictures
The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment.
We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after testing and cleaning.

New equipment comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.
How do you test and recondition the equipment?
Testing requirements vary across all the equipment categories we sell. Temperature controlled units are tested with NIST traceable probes and data loggers. Gaskets, external housing, glass, handles, controls and control screens are all thoroughly inspected for integrity and functionality. We test all equipment using the manufacturer's parameters and specifications to confirm that the unit operates properly.
How do products ship from American Instrument Exchange?
We can ship products both nationally and internationally using a well-established network of transporters. Smaller items will ship via UPS. Larger equipment will be palletized and shipped either LTL or air-ride, depending on the specific equipment and/or delivery requirements.

How does your price matching policy work?
We strive to keep our pricing competitive and reasonable. If you find comparable items for sale at a lower price from other vendors please send us a link and or quote for the item and we'll do our best to match or beat the price.
Can I see the equipment in person before committing to a purchase?
Customers are welcome to make an appointment to view equipment in our warehouse. Given our workload we may not be able to test or clean the equipment prior to your arrival if you have not committed to an order.

Can I ship products that I purchased elsewhere to American Instrument for repair?
Yes – please see our repair services page for more information.
