Features: Description
The Agilent Microplate Centrifuge is a small robot-accessible automated centrifuge. It also
provides both vibration and noise control in a small, low-maintenance package. Ideal for high
or medium-throughput applications. The Microplate Centrifuge is capable of rapid acceleration
and deceleration (a customizable setting), minimizing the required cycle time. It is excellent
for filtration protocols, air bubble removal in high-density microplates and spin-downs including
cells and cellular debris. A solid and efficient design allows Microplate Centrifuge units
to be stacked to save space. The door design allows for access to the buckets by a range of
articulated robots, for high throughput applications. For robots that cannot reach through
the door, the Automated Centrifuge Loader allows unobstructed accessibility. With a threesecond
loading time and robust motion control, the Automated Centrifuge Loader can be
accessed by most laboratory microplate handlers/robots.
Applications
1. Filtration protocols for PCR purification
2. Cell harvesting for plasmid preps Data Sheet
3. Condensate spin-down for post-PCR processes
4. Removal of air bubbles in high-density plates
Features & Benefits
• Compact Footprint:
The Agilent Microplate Centrifuge takes up very little
bench space, and fits easily in integrated
systems.
• Accessibility:
With the Automated Centrifuge Loader, the Microplate
Centrifuge can be integrated with many
robotic systems.
• Stackable Design:
Multiple Microplate Centrifuge units can be stacked on each
other, increasing the system throughput
without adding to the footprint.
