Description
For additional information
ask a questionMSC-2P is a compact sized digital centrifuge intended to collect droplets, mix reagents and collect once more for improved PCR yield in subsequent analysis. The combination of spin-mix functions ensures fast operation, thorough mixing and repeatable results. Centrifuge rotor can accommodate 2 unskirted or semi-skirted PCR plates at the same time, thus saving time considerably.
MSC-2P is possible to operate in 4 independent modes:
- Centrifuge — Max. 3500 RPM
- Vortex — up to 5 min.
- Centrifuge/Vortex — combined two motion types
- Spin-mix-spin algorithm — up to 10 cycles
The spin-mix-spin algorithm (SMS-algorithm) is designed to collect (or reset) micro volumes of reagents to the bottom of the PCR plate tubes (the first centrifugation or spin), then vortexing (mix) and re-collecting reagents (repeated spin) from the walls and cover. This repetitive algorithm of operations, aimed at reducing sample preparation errors, we call the SMS algorithm.
Compatible plates:
- Semi-skirted 96-well plates:
- up to 8-8.5mm - use MSC-2P-1 or MSC-2P-2 adapter set provided with device,
- up to 9-10mm high.
- Unskirted 96-well Plates:
- 1.2mm thick - use MSC-2P-1 adapter set,
- 2mm thick - use MSC-2P-2 adapter set.
- 384-well plates up to 10 mm.
