PR1MA™ 2D Microplate Centrifuge

The PR1MA™ 2D Digital Microplate PCR Plate Spinning Centrifuge pairs a space-saving benchtop design with precise digital control. Engineered for versatility, its programmable speed and run-time settings allow laboratories to standardize protocols and ensure reliable performance across a variety of molecular biology applications.

Featuring a patented swing-out rotor, the PR1MA™ 2D keeps plate carriers angled at 75° while at rest, allowing users to load open plates without risking liquid spillage or requiring heat seals and film. Upon activation, the rotor smoothly accelerates, bringing plates into a fully horizontal position for efficient centrifugation. Once the run completes, soft electronic braking quickly brings the rotor back to its resting angle for fast, mess-free sample retrieval.

Reaching top speeds of 2,800 rpm (728 x g), the PR1MA™ 2D rapidly concentrates droplets at the bottom of plate wells, reducing processing times and enhancing data consistency for downstream analysis.

Main Attributes

• Precision Digital Control: Program speed (500 to 2,800 rpm) and run times with an intuitive control panel for consistent, repeatable results across applications
• Spill-Free Loading: Patented swing-out rotor design positions plate carriers at a 75° resting angle, eliminating sample spillage and reducing the need for plate seals or caps
• Compact Lab Footprint: Space-saving 9 x 12 In. design fits comfortably on crowded benches while delivering g-forces up to 728 x g
• Broad Plate Compatibility: Accommodates two full-sized PCR plates (skirted, semi-skirted, and non-skirted), standard microtiter plates, or up to 24 x 0.2 mL PCR strips
• Efficient Sample Concentration: Quickly pulls down micro-volume droplets to the bottom of wells to streamline downstream workflows

PR1MA™ Microplate Microcentrifuge

• Quickly spins down droplets in PCR plates (less than 20 seconds)
• Accepts skirted, non-skirted, standard, and most microtiter PCR plates
• 50% smaller than traditional centrifuges
• Unique rotor design prevents sample spillage 

The PR1MA™ Microplate Microcentrifuge is the first mini-sized centrifuge with a swing-out rotor for microplates. Centrifuging plates before PCR ensures all reactants are in the bottom of the wells for proper concentrations and improved yields.

The easily accessible rotor chamber includes two plate carriers that rest at a 75° angle. This allows plates to be inserted confidently without sealing tapes or caps. Upon closing the centrifuge lid, the rotor accelerates and the centrifugal force "swings" the plates into a horizontal position, concentrating any droplets on the plate walls to the well bottoms.

Accessories 

• PCRCENT-A02 - This tube adapter for the PCRCENT Plate Centrifuge holds 96 0.2 mL tubes or 8 and 12 position PCR strips. It comes 2 per pack.
• PCRCENT-DWMP - This optional rotor for the PCRCENT Plate Centrifuge has carriers for deep well plates up to 35 mm tall.

Specifications 

PR1MA™ Mini Vortexer

• Powerful vortexing for tubes up to 50 mL
• Pressure activated operation
• "Mini-sized", less than 4 inches wide

Powerful is the best word to describe the PR1MA™ Mini Vortexer. With a 4 mm orbit and fixed speed of 2,800 rpm, it instantly vortexes even the largest samples, including nearly full 50 mL tubes. Despite its powerful motor, the Mini Vortexer has a footprint of less than 4 x 4 inches, allowing it to fit on even the most crowded lab bench. 

Pressure-activated operation means that the motor is automatically activated with slight pressure on the center cup head. Operation is smooth, quiet, and efficient. When pressure is removed operation immediately ceases. The unique design prevents liquids from entering the housing, prolonging motor life.
 

PR1MA™ V2 Vortex Mixer

• Reversible top platform, cup, or flat-dimpled surface
• Powerful motor for INSTANT vortexing
• Continuous or touch operation
• Q Drive dynamic balancing system
• Variable speed from 200 to 3200 rpm
• Wide variety of accessories, for tubes up to 50 mL

The PR1MA™ V2 Vortex Mixer utilizes a smooth and powerful mixing technology, with the advantage of a uniquely designed reversible rubber head that can be attached to the mixer in two orientations. For the vortexing of single tubes, the cupped surface would generally be preferred. However, for applications requiring a flat/dimpled surface for mixing uniquely shaped vessels (or a handful of multiple test tubes), the head can easily be flipped over and reattached in reverse orientation.

The drive system is balanced with Q-Drive™ technology, providing a smooth vortexing action, while minimizing noise and excessive vibration. This results in quieter, more efficient, and longer lasting operation. With a maximum speed up to 3,200 rpm, the mixer provides an instant vortex of even the largest sample sizes, including full 50 mL tubes.
