The Poseidon 2D Digital Microplate Centrifuge combines
compact convenience with the added precision of a sleek, intuitive digital control panel. Programmable speed and run time settings provide the flexibility to adapt protocols to a wide range of applications, delivering
consistent and reliable performance in a variety of laboratory
workflows.
Despite a remarkably compact footprint (just 9 inches wide), the
unit features a uniquely designed, patented swing-out
rotor. Unlike competing plate centrifuges, the plate carriers are
positioned at a 75° angle during loading, allowing microplates to
be inserted confidently without spillage or the need for sealing
films or caps. Upon starting the run, the rotor accelerates to
the set rpm and the centrifugal force "swings" the plates into
a horizontal position. Once the set time is reached, the
electronic braking returns the rotor to the angled position
within a few seconds for easy, mess-free removal of plates.
With a maximum speed of 2800rpm (RCF exceeding 700xg),
the Poseidon 2D shortens run times and quickly
concentrates samples to the bottom of the plate wells
for further processing and analysis.
