Benchmark Scientific PlateFuge™ Microplate Microcentrifuge with rotor and plate carriers is the first “mini” sized centrifuge with a swing out rotor for microplates. Centrifuging plates before PCR ensures all reactants are in the bottom of the wells for proper concentrations and improved yields.
- Quickly spins down droplets in PCR plates
- Unique swing-out rotor design prevents spillage (patented)
- Half the size of traditional centrifuges
- Accepts all popular types of PCR plates (skirted, semi, and non) and most microtiter plates
- 2 year warranty
In spite of its remarkably small footprint (9" x 10"), the PlateFuge™ includes a uniquely designed, swing out rotor (patent pending) capable of securing 2 microplates. The easily accessible rotor chamber includes two plate carriers that rest at a 75° angle. This allows plates to be inserted confidently without sealing tapes or caps. Upon closing the lid of the centrifuge, the rotor accelerates and the centrifugal force “swings” the plates into a horizontal position. Any droplets on the walls of the plate quickly concentrate into the well bottoms.
With a g-force of 600 xg, most samples can be spun down in less than 20 seconds. To end a run, simply open the lid and the automatic, electric brake brings the rotor to a quick, smooth stop in just 4 seconds. Plates can then be easily removed from the rotor.
