Advalab’s Microplate Centrifuges are designed to accommodate 96- or 384-well plates for efficient sample rotation and separation. They support standard skirted, non-skirted, and semi-skirted plate types. Their high-speed mechanism enables quick spin-down of droplets and condensation. These units come with safety features like automatic lid lock, imbalance detection, and smooth operation. Our Microplate centrifuges are widely used in applications such as PCR preparation, ELISA, cell culture, and biochemical assays.
1. What is a Microplate Centrifuge used for?
A Microplate Centrifuge is used to spin and separate samples contained within microplates, such as 96- or 384-well plates, for applications like PCR, ELISA, and cell culture assays. It helps to quickly collect all liquids at the bottom of wells, reducing sample loss and improving assay accuracy. This makes it essential for high-throughput laboratories requiring fast and reliable sample processing.
2. What is imbalance detection and why is it important in Microplate Centrifuges?
Imbalance detection in a Microplate Centrifuge automatically stops the device if the load is uneven, protecting the centrifuge and ensuring user safety. This feature prevents damage to the motor and rotor caused by excessive vibrations. It also helps maintain accurate and consistent sample processing by avoiding disruptions during the spin cycle.
