Benchmark Scientific PlateFuge MicroPlate Microcentrifuge C2000**This unit has been tested to specifications. Has slight cosmetic blemishes from regular use. See photos for further details.Benchmarks PlateFuge 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 x 10 in.), the PlateFuge includes a uniquely designed, swing out rotor (patent pending) capable of securing2 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 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
