The Grant bio Combi-spin PCV-2400 is a cost-effective fixed-speed combined centrifuge/vortex mixer for combined or independent centrifuge and mixing applications of microtubes and 0.2 ml microtube strips in low volume applications.

Tubes are loaded into the rotor for simultaneous spinning, then removed for individual mixing in the vortex cup located at the top of the central shaft. In spin-mix-spin applications, the Combi-spin can be used with reagent volumes down to approximately 50µl, representing an overall saving in time, labour and material.

Combi-spin aids the sample preparation process for many procedures including PCR, gel electrophoresis and enzyme reactions, and is particularly suitable for low volume applications. Other specific applications include immunoprecipitations; cell permeabilisation by chelating or hydrophobic agents for reaction in situ; low solubility drug testing; cell washing from culture media after fermentation.

Spin speed: fixed at 2400 rpm

Continuous operation or short spin

Choice of interchangeable rotors for different microtube sizes/combinations and for 0.2. ml strips

 

The vortex cup emerges through an opening in the closed lid, enabling individual tubes to be mixed while a full load of tubes is spinning.

Very simple to operate – use the left-hand button to select continuous or short spin. A safety interlock stops the rotor when the lid is opened to ensure you and your workplace remain safe.

The Combi-spin is supplied as standard with two interchangeable rotors for 12 and 24 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.
