Centrifuge:Automated

The BioNex HiG centrifuge line (U.S. Patent 9,446,417) delivers the highest speed of any robot accessible centrifuge on the market today. Capable of rapid acceleration, the HiG line provides better pelletizing, cleaner supernatants, and faster filtration. In addition, the HiG 4 incorporates Peltier cooling to keep samples at or close to ambient temperature operating at maximum RCF and duty cycle. The dual position rotor design accepts payloads up to 350 grams per bucket, allowing most microplate configurations to be processed easily, including deep well blocks and filter plate assemblies. The balance intolerance is more forgiving of payload weight differences, promoting continual, uninterrupted operation, and provides vibrational stability for other instruments operating on the same platform. The large door opening allows buckets to be accessed directly by a wide range of laboratory robots without an intermediate plate loader, reducing the number of steps required and overall cycle time. The small footprint of the HiG centrifuges easily integrates with laboratory automation, and two units can be stacked to increase throughput. The HiG is completely powered by standard electrical service, eliminating the need for compressed air or other utilities.
