Description
Available as standalone units, controlled by the user-friendly VisioNize® touchscreen interface, or externally controlled eco units, the Mastercycler X50 family offers the flexibility to meet all your throughput needs. Mastercycler X50 eco units can only be controlled by a connected Mastercycler X50 with touchscreen, or the CycleManager X50 software.
Import your programs from slower cyclers to the Mastercycler X50 by only programming the total run time your current cycler needs. Mastercycler X50 automatically adjusts its ramp rate to the run time and the PCR will perform as you are used to. No further optimization of your proven protocols is needed.
Watch our video on how to program the desired runtime.
Each standalone PCR thermocycler can be networked with up to nine additional eco units. For even higher throughput, you can control up to fifty MC X50 eco units with our CycleManager X50 software. Whichever you need, you’ll be able to monitor and manage every unit - individually, simultaneously or as a group – with the assurance that every PCR cycler provides excellent block homogeneity, accuracy and precision. For security, simply choose different levels of access for different users. Low noise and power usage, and the versatile flexlid® concept for maximized consumable flexibility, make the MC X50 the most powerful and convenient PCR thermocycler set-up.
Speed up you PCR: Heating rate of max. 10 °C/s with Mastercycler X50s
Wide selection of blocks from a fast silver block to 384 well block
Consumable flexibility: Automatic height adjustment of the heated lid allows you to use a wide range of PCR consumables
For more reproducible results: High block temperature homogeneity (±0.2 °C at 20 – 72 °C) and control accuracy (±0.15 °C); constant block temperature of 20 °C during warm-up phase of the heated lid reduces thermal load on samples and minimizes formation of non-specific products
Supports sustainability goals: ACT-certified, low noise level (33.6 dB(A)) and energy consumption (0.114 kWh) for Mastercycler X50s (3-step PCR run); energy-saving mode
True control and remote monitoring: 7" touch interface e.g., with user management and detailed GLP- and audit supporting run documentation; remote monitoring and more with VisioNize®
Fast protocol optimization: Simultaneous optimization of two different temperature steps of one program (2D-gradient)
Connectivity: Mastercycler X50 with large 7" touchscreen can control up to 9 eco units; connect up to 50 eco units with the CycleManager X50 software
Options and accessories: Dedicated service and maintenance plans e.g., IQ/OQ GxP or temperature verification with sensors calibrated according to ISO 9001 or ISO/IEC 17025, TVS-T6 block temperature verification system available, broad selection of PCR consumables
Easy program transfer: Program migration feature supports adaption of programs from slower cyclers, ramp rates are automatically adjusted according to the entered desired runtime
