Productivity
Are you always rushing? Time is everything in science. The aluminum block of Mastercycler X40 heats with max. 3.3 °C/s and cools with max. 1.5 °C/s to enable fast PCR runs. You can fill up your consumables and run your PCR with up to 100 µL to increase yield and reduce downstream clean-up efforts.
Ergonomics
Worrying about your health? Our Mastercycler X40 is designed to be ergonomic. Low noise level, easy programming, low weight, easy opening and closing and status LED that you can see from a distance make your life easier and healthier.
Sustainability
Reduce Your CO2 Footprint! The e Mastercycler X40 shows with 0.134 kWh an extremely low power consumption for a PCR run. The power consumption of other thermal cyclers can be 35-70 % higher. The difference between 0.134 kWh and 0.473 kWh per PCR run resembles a difference of around 124 g of CO2 emissions. That’s enough to fill around 11 party balloons. Over a year, this can add up to additional CO2 emissions of 129 kg. The Mastercycler X40 is packed in a cardboard box, with only two small recyclable plastic bags to protect the device and cable from dust. The packaging contains only a short manual to start right away. The full manual is available via QR code. Small footprint and low weight enables more devices to be shipped on one palette – and with this reduces spendings on gas/fuel and freight for each single device.
