Waken Biotech WKN-2818 Benchtop Centrifuge for PCR Tubes

The Waken Biotech WKN-2818 benchtop centrifuge is designed specifically for molecular biology workflows requiring rapid and compact centrifugation of 0.2 mL PCR tubes arranged in dual 8-strip rows. It achieves a maximum rotational speed of 6200 rpm ±20%, generating centrifugal forces ranging from 810 to 2690 × g, suitable for quick sample pelleting and clearing in gene editing, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics applications.

Key technical features:

• Supports 16 total PCR tubes in an 8 × 2 configuration, ideal for high-throughput molecular cloning and bioprocessing protocols.
• Compact dimensions: 15 cm width × 16.3 cm depth × 11.3 cm height, facilitating easy placement in constrained lab spaces such as biosafety cabinets or molecular biology benches.
• Lightweight unit at 610 g (without batteries) ensures portability for field or bench-side sample preparation.
• Dual power options include AC 100–240 V 50/60 Hz input or battery operation with 4 AA alkaline batteries, supporting flexible use in diverse lab environments.
• Generates consistent centrifugal acceleration between 810–2690 g, optimizing sample processing time in biomanufacturing pipelines and clinical diagnostics setups.

This mini centrifuge is particularly highly suited for biotechnology research, including gene editing, molecular cloning workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where rapid sample spin-down of PCR tubes is essential. The device’s usability in synthetic biology, cell imaging sample prep, and molecular diagnostics makes it a valuable tool in experimental and diagnostic laboratories.

Please note this unit is sold used, as-is, with potential performance variations compared to new units. Battery cells are not included.
