PlateFuge MicroPlate MicroCentrifuge with rotor and plate carriers

Benchmark's 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 (9x10 in.). the PlateFuge includes a uniquely 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 degree 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 xg. 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.
