Description
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.
Fast PCR optimization: Testing of 12 different denaturation/annealing temperatures in a single run with temperature gradient function
Compatible with many vessel formats: 0.1/0.2 mL tubes and tube strips, 96 well plates (low/high profile unskirted, high profile semi-skirted, low profile skirted); SafeLid adjusts to different vessel heights for optimized temperature transfer and evaporation protection
For more reproducible results: high block temperature homogeneity ±0.2 °C (20 – 72 °C) and control accuracy (±0.15 °C); constant 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 and energy consumption: 40.5 db(A) and 0.134 kWh (3-step PCR run); energy-saving mode
True control and remote monitoring: 7" touch interface e.g., with user management to set permissions to change settings or programs and detailed GLP- and audit supporting run documentation; remote monitoring and more with VisioNize® Lab Suite
Easy program transfer: Program migration feature supports import of programs from slower cyclers, ramp rates are automatically adjusted according to the entered desired runtime
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, broad selection of PCR consumables
