The A02-PCR8 is a plastic rotor designed by DLAB Scientific for use with their palm micro-centrifuge series, specifically the D1008 and D1008U DLAB leaflets. It is primarily used for quick spin-downs and microfiltration of PCR samples MakhazenX.
Key Specifications
- Capacity: Accommodates 2 x PCR8 strips (or up to 16 individual 0.2mL PCR tubes) DLAB leaflet.
- Maximum Speed: Up to 7,000 RPM (or 10,000 RPM depending on the specific centrifuge model paired) Desertcart India.
- RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force): Approximately 2,680 x g DLAB leaflet.
- Material: High-strength plastic DLAB leaflet.
Technical Performance
- Max Speed & Force: Performance varies depending on the drive unit it is paired with. At its standard 7,000 rpm setting, it generates 2,680 x g.
- Acoustic Profile: Engineered for quiet operation with a noise level of ≤45dB, making it suitable for shared benchtop environments.
- Dynamic Response: It is designed to reach maximum speed and come to a complete stop within seconds, optimized for short-run “pulse” applications.
Capacity & Layout
- Standard Layout: 2 x 0.2mL PCR8 strips.
- Individual Tube Capacity: Can hold up to 16 individual 0.2mL PCR tubes.
- Expanded Configuration: Some newer D1008 models can support up to 4 x PCR8-strips (32 tubes) with compatible larger rotor variants.
Maintenance & Safety
- Tool-Free Exchange: Features a snap-on fixing mechanism that allows for quick rotor swaps without needing a wrench or screwdriver.
- Cleaning: The plastic body should be cleaned using neutral detergents or a 70% isopropanol mixture. It is generally recommended to wipe the rotor after each use to prevent residue build-up that could affect balance.
- Safety: Designed with a lid-interlock feature that stops the rotor automatically if the centrifuge lid is opened during operation.
