Benchmark PlateFuge™ MicroPlate MicroCentrifuge with rotor and plate carriers
Quote
The Benchmark Scientific C2000 PlateFuge™ is a compact microplate centrifuge designed specifically for fast PCR plate spin-down—often searched as a PCR plate centrifuge, PCR plate spinner, plate centrifuge, or microplate spinner. Its swing-out rotor pulls droplets and condensation to the bottom of each well so reaction mixes are properly collected for more consistent concentrations and improved yields before PCR/qPCR and other plate-based workflows.
In daily molecular workflows, the C2000 is ideal for quick spins after pipetting, sealing, transport, or thermal cycling—supporting PCR/qPCR setup, plate-based sample prep, and plate-format steps common in NGS library prep where well-bottom collection improves consistency between steps. It also supports many microtiter plate applications (plates up to 25 mm tall) where removing wall droplets can improve uniformity before timed incubations, including general assay workflows such as ELISA-style procedures.
For added flexibility, optional accessories expand formats beyond standard plates—supporting 0.2 mL tubes / PCR strips and, with the deep-well rotor option, deep-well plates up to 35 mm tall for plate-based prep workflows.
Description
Key Features
- PCR plate centrifuge for fast plate spin-down: Quickly drives droplets and condensation to the bottom of wells for more consistent PCR/qPCR setup and improved well-to-well uniformity.
- Swing-out rotor microplate centrifuge: Plates swing into a horizontal position during the run to pull liquid efficiently to well bottoms—ideal for quick spins after pipetting, sealing, or transport.
- 2550 rpm / 600 xg “quick-spin” performance: Rapid plate preparation for high-throughput workflows using 96-well PCR plates and microtiter plates.
- Electric brake with 4-second deceleration: Faster cycle times and higher throughput for busy PCR stations and shared lab benches.
- Microplate & microtiter plate compatibility: Supports 2 x 2 PCR plates plus microtiter plates up to 25 mm tall, including common plate styles used in molecular biology workflows.
- Plate spinner versatility with accessories: Optional adapter supports 0.2 mL tubes and PCR strip tubes; optional deep-well rotor supports deep-well plates up to 35 mm tall.
- 115V/230V benchtop plate centrifuge options: Available in 115V or 230V (50–60Hz) for flexible installation across labs and facilities.
