VWR Model 89184-608 PCR Dual Plate laboratory Spinner 120V, Tested

Overview:

By ensuring all reagents are at the bottom of the wells before thermal cycling, the VWR Model 89184-608 PCR Dual Plate Spinner improves PCR yield and consistency. Its unique vertical loading design prevents sample cross-contamination and allows for a much smaller footprint than traditional swing-bucket plate centrifuges.

Key Features:

• Vertical Loading Slot: Plates are inserted vertically rather than laid flat; centrifugal force swings them to a horizontal position during operation and returns them to vertical for easy removal.

• Dual Plate Capacity: Simultaneously processes two standard PCR plates (skirted, non-skirted, or semi-skirted) or deep-well plates.

• Instant-Action Operation: The motor starts immediately when the lid is closed and stops rapidly when the lid is opened, making it perfect for quick 5–10 second pulses.
  

Applications:

• Pre-PCR Spin-down: Essential for collecting reagents at the bottom of the wells to ensure accurate concentrations and prevent "air bubbles" during heating.
• Post-Vortexing: Rapidly clearing the walls of the plate wells after a vortexing step.
• Post-PCR Cleanup: Pelleting beads or precipitates in 96-well plate-based purification protocols.
• General Plate Processing: Any application requiring a quick centrifugal pulse for 96 or 384-well plates.

Specifications:

• Max Speed: 2,500 rpm

• Max RCF: 500 x g

• Capacity: 2 standard PCR plates (96 or 384-well)
