Mastercycler X40 – PCR Thermocycler
The Eppendorf Mastercycler X40 leads your standard PCR into a new era. Its futuristic design is paired with known quality. The performance of the reliable aluminum block is developed for excellent temperature homogeneity. A 12-column gradient offers fast PCR optimization. Programs from older Mastercycler models can easily be imported. Use the program migration feature to transfer protocols from other cycler models so that you can start right away. All programming is done fast, intuitive, and comfortably via a chemical-resistant glass surface touchscreen and the well-established user interface also used for Mastercycler X50. The handle can be operated with one hand and the SafeLid automatically adapts to apply the perfect pressure on your samples for evaporation protection. No matter if you use 0.1 mL, 0.2 mL tubes and tube strips, or PCR plates. Any type of PCR plate − skirted, semi-skirted and unskirted plates − can be used.
For monitoring and audit trails, you can connect the Mastercycler X40 directly to Visonize LabSuite and by connecting multiple Eppendorf Visionize onboard devices you can transform your lab into a digital lab.
All in a thermal cycler that is only slightly larger than a piece of paper and weighs just 7.25 kg.
Sustainability is a must, therefore the Mastercycler X40 is shipped in a stable, protective cardboard box. The short manual included is enough to start your PCR immediately and the full manual is available as a digital version, accessible via a QR code on the device.
