Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Benchmark Scientific PlateFuge™ 2D Digital MicroPlate MicroCentrifuge (Cat # C2006) — the next generation of Benchmark's industry-leading PlateFuge line, now with full digital control for programmable speed and run time settings. Compact, powerful, and purpose-built for PCR and microplate workflows, the PlateFuge 2D delivers consistent, reliable performance in a remarkably small 9 x 12 inch footprint.
The C2006 builds on Benchmark's patented swing-out rotor design, which eliminates the need for plate sealing films or caps during centrifugation. With a maximum speed of 2800 RPM and a maximum rcf exceeding 700 xg, the PlateFuge 2D quickly concentrates samples to the bottom of plate wells — improving PCR yields, reducing errors, and shortening run times. Whether you are running qPCR, ELISA, NGS library prep, or general microplate workflows, LIGHT LABS has the equipment to keep your lab moving.
KEY FEATURES
- Digital control panel with programmable RPM and run time for precise, repeatable results
- Patented swing-out rotor — plate carriers rest at 75° angle during loading, eliminating sample spillage without the need for sealing films or caps
- Upon run start, centrifugal force automatically swings plates to horizontal position; electronic braking returns carriers to angled position for easy, mess-free plate removal
- Maximum speed of 2800 RPM / 728 xg — faster spindowns for better sample concentration
- Accepts all popular PCR plate types: skirted, semi-skirted, and non-skirted; also fits most standard microtiter plates
- Accepts 24 x 0.2 mL PCR strips
- Compact personal-sized footprint — just 9 x 12 inches
- Dual voltage: 120V 60Hz or 240V 50Hz — suitable for US and international labs
- 2-year manufacturer warranty
- Distributed exclusively through authorized distributors including LIGHT LABS
