Benchmark Scientific PlateFuge MicroPlate Microcentrifuge C2000**This unit has been tested to specifications. Has slight cosmetic blemishes form regular use. See photos for further details.Benchmarks PlateFuge is the first mini sized centrifuge with a swing outrotor for microplates. Centrifuging plates before PCR ensures all reactants arein the bottom of the wells for proper concentrations and improved yields.In spite of its remarkably small footprint (9 x 10 in.), the PlateFuge includes auniquely 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 withoutsealing 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 x g, 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.SpecificationsSpeed2,550 RPMMax RCF600 x gCapacity2 x 2 PCR plates2 x microtiter plates (up to 25mm)24 x 0.2ml PCR stripsDeceleration4 secDimensions (W x D x H)9.2 x 10.2 x 7.75 in (23 x 26 x 19.7 cm)Electrical Requirements115V, 50/60Hz, 250WAdditional Prep Fees May Apply
