Waken Biotech WKN-2818 Benchtop Centrifuge for 8-Strip PCR Tubes

The Waken Biotech WKN-2818 is a compact benchtop centrifuge specifically designed for spin-down applications of 8-strip PCR tubes (0.2 mL × 8 tubes per row, up to two rows). It delivers a maximum rotational speed of 6200 rpm ±20%, generating a relative centrifugal force ranging from 810 to 2,690 × g, essential for efficient PCR reagent preparation and molecular diagnostics workflows.

Key features include:

• Suitable for molecular biology labs conducting PCR preparation and spin-downs.
• Operates on either an AC adapter or AA alkaline batteries, offering portability and convenience for diverse lab environments and field applications.
• Fixed 6-minute timer ensures consistent centrifugation cycles for reproducible results.
• Compact dimensions (150×163×113 mm) and lightweight design (610 g without batteries) facilitate benchtop integration in limited lab spaces and ease of transport.
• Constructed with durable materials, it avoids fragile protrusions, enhancing longevity and reliability in busy biotechnology and clinical diagnostic labs.
• Simple operation: rotor starts spinning once the lid is secured, minimizing user error.

This centrifuge is ideal for researchers and lab technicians in molecular diagnostics, gene editing, and bioprocessing settings requiring a reliable spin-down device for PCR sample preparation. Its portability and robustness make it a valuable asset for synthetic biology and biomanufacturing workflows, where consistent sample processing is critical.
