Waken Biotech WKN-2322 Petitmaru 8 Benchtop Microcentrifuge for 1.5ml Tubes

The Waken Biotech WKN-2322 Petitmaru 8 Benchtop Microcentrifuge is designed for efficient centrifugation of small volume samples commonly used in molecular diagnostics and biotechnology research. It accommodates up to eight 1.5ml or 2.0ml microcentrifuge tubes, enabling parallel sample processing for bioprocessing and molecular biology workflows.

Key Features:

• Capacity: Holds 8 microtubes of 1.5ml or 2.0ml volume, ideal for molecular cloning and synthetic biology experiments.
• Speed: Operates at a maximum speed of 6000 rpm (±20%), generating relative centrifugal forces up to approximately 2,960 × g, critical for cell pelleting, nucleic acid purification, and protein extraction protocols.
• Compact Design: Measures 150 mm (W) × 163 mm (D) × 113 mm (H), making it a space-saving instrument suitable for benchtop use in clinical diagnostics and research laboratories.
• Lightweight: Weighs just 640 g (excluding batteries), facilitating portability within biomanufacturing or educational settings.
• Power Options: Powered either by standard AC input (100-240 V, 50/60 Hz) or four AA alkaline batteries, offering flexibility for fieldwork or laboratory use where power supply may vary.

This microcentrifuge is widely adopted in biotechnology research environments that require reliable and consistent centrifugation for gel extraction, cell fractionation, and sample preparation in genetic engineering, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Due to its compact size and battery operation feature, it is also suitable for on-site applications and rapid sample processing.
