A versatile range of compact, modern benchtop centrifuges from Grant bio for a variety of biomedical, biochemical and life science applications requiring spinning or a combination of spinning and mixing for microtubes and microtitre plates.
Suitable for use in cold rooms and incubators (operating temperature range 4 to 40°C).
A variable-speed combined centrifuge/vortex mixer for programmed sequences of spin and mix operations or for independent centrifuging and vortex-mixing of multiple microtubes.
⇔ Centrifugation speed 1000 to 6000rpm
⇔ Multi-spin enables consecutive spin and mix phases of multiple tubes - tubes are loaded into the rotor for spinning and remain in position for vortex mixing, saving time and labour. In addition, lower reagent volumes can be used, providing a further saving.
⇔ Simple push-buttons and a clear 2-line LCD status display enable accurate and repeatable setting of spin and mix levels and times.
⇔ Spin and mix phases can be linked in sequences which can be repeated up to 999 times.
⇔ The Multi-spin™ is supplied as standard with two interchangeable rotors for 12 x 1.5 ml and 12 x 0.5 ml + 12 x 0.2 ml microtubes. Optional accessory rotors – for
⇔ 16 and 18 microtubes and for two 8 well 0.2 ml strips – allow for quick and easy changes of application.
⇔ A safety interlock stops the rotor when the lid is opened to ensure you and your workplace remain safe.
⇔ Compact design and extremely quiet in operation - fits neatly and unobtrusively into the workspace
