Plate spinner

Plate spinner

The plate spinner centrifuge from Sigma (a brand of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) is a type of laboratory centrifuge designed for the efficient spinning of plates, commonly used in biological and chemical research. This type of centrifuge is particularly useful for applications that require high throughput and consistent results from plate-based samples.

Key Features of Sigma Plate Spinner Centrifuge:

Plate Compatibility: Typically designed to accommodate standard multi-well plates (e.g., 96-well or 384-well plates), making it ideal for high-throughput screening and assays.

High-Speed Operation: Capable of high rotational speeds to ensure efficient separation of components in the plates, which is crucial for obtaining clear and reliable results.

Uniform Spinning: Provides uniform spinning to ensure consistent results across all wells of the plate, which is important for reproducibility in experiments.

User-Friendly Controls: Often features an intuitive control panel or touchscreen interface for easy operation and programming of centrifugation parameters.

Compact Design: Designed to be compact and fit easily in laboratory settings, maximizing workspace efficiency.
