The new Mastercycler® X50 elegantly combines speed, flexibility and ease of use. With its intuitive touchscreen that allows precise fingertip control, the MC X50 PCR thermal cycler enables straightforward PCR optimization in modern molecular biology research and reliable standardization in routine PCR applications. It is also perfectly suited for NGS tasks.

The Mastercycler X50 family of instruments is available as stand-alone units controlled via the user-friendly VisioNize® touchscreen control panel or as externally controlled eco instruments. This gives you the flexibility to meet all your throughput needs.

Each stand-alone unit can be networked with up to nine additional eco units. For even more throughput, you can control up to fifty MC X50 eco units with our CycleManager X50 software. Whichever solution you need, you can monitor and manage all devices - whether single, simultaneous or shared - with confidence that each PCR cycler will deliver excellent block homogeneity, trueness and accuracy. For added security, simply select different access levels for different users. Low noise and power consumption, plus the versatile flexlid® concept for maximum consumable flexibility, make the MC X50 the most powerful and convenient PCR thermal cycler.
