MBI PlateFuge (MicroCentrifuge for PCR Microplates) (max capacity 2 x PCR Plates, max. RCF 600xg)

MBI Lab Equipment - MBI PlateFuge MicroCentrifuge

For PCR Microplates

This 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.

In spite of its remarkably small footprint (9×10 in.), the MBI 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, allowing plates to be inserted confidently without sealing tapes or caps. Upon closing the lid, the rotor accelerates and centrifugal force "swings" the plates into a horizontal position, concentrating any droplets on the walls into the well bottoms.

With a g-force of over 400 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 about 7 seconds. Plates can then be easily removed from the rotor.
