Wakenbtech WKN-8866 Portable Benchtop Centrifuge for 1.5/2.0 mL Tubes and 8-Strip PCR Tubes

The Wakenbtech WKN-8866 is a compact benchtop centrifuge designed specifically for biotechnological and molecular biology applications, including bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics workflows. It supports quick rotor interchangeability between 1.5/2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes and 8-strip PCR tubes, enabling flexible sample preparation essential for gene editing and synthetic biology research.

Key Technical Features:

• Sample Capacity: Holds eight 1.5 or 2.0 mL microtubes, or two rows (16 total) of 0.2 mL PCR strip tubes.
• Rotational Performance: Operates at 6,000–6,200 rpm with centrifugal forces up to ~2,960 G, adequate for cell pelleting and nucleic acid purification protocols.
• Timer: Fixed 6-minute run time optimized for rapid spin-downs in molecular cloning workflows.
• Portability: Lightweight at 600 g excluding rotor and batteries, powered by an AC adapter or four AA alkaline batteries, facilitating field and lab mobility.
• User-Friendly Operation: Lid-actuated locking and spinning mechanism ensures easy, safe sample processing.
• Durability: Designed without fragile protrusions for enhanced durability during transport and routine use.
• Adapter Compatibility: Supports optional adapters for 0.5 mL tubes, expanding sample versatility.
• Dimensions: Compact footprint of 15 × 16.3 × 11.3 cm fits limited benchtop space.

Ideal for clinical diagnostics, synthetic biology, and biomanufacturing research labs, this centrifuge supports streamlined workflows in fluorescence analysis and live-cell sample preparation, enhancing productivity in biomedical engineering and molecular diagnostics settings.
