PLATEFUGE™ MICROCENTRIFUGE

Quickly spins down droplets in PCR plates Unique swing-out rotor design prevents spillage (patented) Half the size of traditional centrifuges Accepts all popular types of PCR plates (skirted, semi, and non) and most microtiter plates Benchmark’s 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 (9×10 in.), the PlateFuge™ includes auniquely designed, swing out rotor (patent pending) capable of securing2 microplates. The easily accessible rotor chamber includes two plate carriersthat rest at a 75° angle. This allows plates to be inserted confidently withoutsealing tapes or caps. Upon closing the lid of the centrifuge, the rotoraccelerates and the centrifugal force “swings” the plates into a horizontalposition. Any droplets on the walls of the plate quickly concentrate intothe wel
