Waken Biotech WKN-2818 Benchtop Centrifuge for PCR Tubes

This Waken Biotech WKN-2818 benchtop centrifuge is engineered for laboratory applications requiring the centrifugation of PCR tubes (0.2 mL, 8-strip × 2 rows), widely used in molecular diagnostics, gene editing workflows, and bioprocessing protocols. The unit delivers a maximum rotational speed of 6200 rpm (±20%), generating centrifugal forces from 810 to 2690 G, suitable for precise sedimentation of nucleic acids and enzymes in small-volume samples.

Key technical features include:

• Capacity: Holds two 8-strip PCR tube sets (16 tubes total), accommodating throughput demands in biotechnology labs and clinical diagnostics environments.
• Centrifugal performance: Max 2,690 G ensures efficient separation critical in molecular cloning and synthetic biology research applications.
• Compact physical dimensions: 15 × 16.3 × 11.3 cm footprint enables placement on crowded workbenches supporting live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis workflows.
• Power options: Dual power capability via AC input (100–240 V) or portable operation with four AA alkaline batteries allows flexibility in various laboratory settings.
• Lightweight design: At approximately 0.61 kg (without batteries), it facilitates easy transport across biomanufacturing and biomedical engineering facilities.

Please note, this unit is used and sold as-is; performance and functional specifications may not fully correspond to new conditions. It remains a practical choice for researchers needing a portable, dedicated centrifuge for routine PCR tube processing in molecular biology and biotech labs.
