Eppendorf Mastercycler X40, 100-240V, GB 6381000042

The Eppendorf Mastercycler X40 is a compact benchtop PCR thermal cycler designed for end-point PCR workflows. It provides precise thermal cycling via an aluminum thermoblock with a 12‑column gradient for fast PCR optimization and accepts 96‑well plates or 0.1/0.2 mL tubes. The instrument includes a chemical‑resistant touchscreen and an ergonomically operated SafeLid for evaporation protection, and it can be connected to VisioNize Lab Suite for remote monitoring and audit trails.

Key Features:

• Sample capacity: 96‑well plate or 0.1/0.2 mL tubes
• Power supply: 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz
• Thermoblock: Aluminum with 12‑column gradient; gradient range 1–30 °C; block control range 4–99 °C
• Heating rate 3.3 °C/s; Cooling rate 1.5 °C/s
• Lid: SafeLid with lid temperature range 37–110 °C
• Weight and footprint: ~7.25 kg; footprint slightly larger than a sheet of paper

Advantages:

• 12‑column gradient enables rapid optimization of annealing temperatures and easier protocol transfer
• Aluminum block and controlled ramp rates promote excellent temperature homogeneity and reproducible results
• SafeLid and adjustable lid pressure reduce evaporation for small‑volume reactions
• Compact, lightweight design with touchscreen and VisioNize connectivity supports space‑saving benchtop use and remote monitoring
