USA Scientific Mini Centrifuge - Fixed Angle Rotor, for PCR tubes, USED, LIKE NEW

Overview:

The USA Scientific Mini Centrifuge is a simple, reliable, and incredibly compact tool designed for quick spin-downs. This unit is engineered for the rapid collection of droplets at the bottom of tubes, ensuring consistent reagent concentrations for PCR and other sensitive assays. It is a staple on the bench of nearly every molecular biology researcher due to its instant-on operation.

Key Features:

• One-Step Operation: Features a "closed-lid-to-start" design; the motor begins spinning as soon as the lid is latched and stops quickly once the lid release button is pressed.
• Dual Rotor Compatibility: Usually supplied with a standard 6-place or 8-place fixed-angle rotor for 1.5/2.0 mL tubes, plus a separate rotor or adapters for 0.2 mL PCR strips and individual tubes.

Applications:

• PCR Setup: Spinning down condensation or reagents in 0.2 mL tubes or strips before loading into a thermal cycler.

• Enzyme Master Mixes: Ensuring small volumes of expensive enzymes are fully integrated into the reaction mix.

• Quick Micro-separations: Brief spins to clear liquid from the caps of 1.5 mL tubes.

• Vortex-to-Spin Transition: The essential second step after vortexing samples to ensure no liquid remains on the tube walls.

Specifications:

• Max Speed: ~6,000 – 6,600 rpm
• Max RCF: ~2,000 x g
• Rotor Capacity: 2 x 8-strip 0.2 mL PCR tubes (with strip rotor)
• Timer: 0 to 30 minutes
