Benchmark PlateFuge MicroPlate MicroCentrifuge is the first mini centrifuge with a swing-out rotor designed specifically for microplates. With a small 9 x 10 inch footprint, the PlateFuge offers efficient centrifugation of PCR plates, microtiter plates, and strip tubes—ideal for any lab performing PCR workflows.
The unique rotor design allows for easy plate loading without sealing tapes or caps. Plates rest securely at a 75° angle during loading, and swing into a flat horizontal position during spinning, ensuring all droplets concentrate at the bottom of each well. With a max RCF of 600 x g and fast acceleration/deceleration, this compact centrifuge gets your samples ready in seconds.
Features:
- Compact footprint: 9 x 10 in saves benchtop space
- Unique swing-out rotor holds 2 x 2 PCR or microtiter plates
- Supports 24 x 0.2ml PCR strip tubes without caps
- Automatic electric brake for smooth 4-second deceleration
- Accelerates to 2,550 RPM (600 x g) in seconds
- No need for sealing films or caps—safe and efficient
- Durable construction for long-term lab use
Applications:
- PCR plate preparation
- Microplate reagent settling
- Concentration of droplets in well bottoms
- Post-mixing spin down
