The Plate Centrifuge:
Precision in Every Drop
Engineered for accuracy, built for speed. Your gateway to reliable results in molecular biology and beyond.
What is a Plate Centrifuge?
Compact Design
A benchtop device engineered to spin microplates with precision and control.
Sample Preparation
Ensures all reactants settle to the bottom of wells before thermal cycling.
Improved
Accuracy
Crucial for accurate concentrations and enhanced experimental yields, especially in PCR applications.
Key Features: Designed for Efficiency
Swing-Out Rotor Technology
Patented designs prevent spillage, holding plates at a 75° angle for easy loading and automatically swinging to horizontal position at operating speed.
Compact
Footprint
Small size (approximately 9 x 10 inches) fits easily on crowded benchtops, inside biosafety cabinets, or within laminar flow hoods.
Rapid Spin-Down
Most samples spun down in under 20 seconds, with quick, smooth braking for immediate sample access.
