Waken Biotech WKN-2818 Benchtop Centrifuge for PCR Tubes

The Waken Biotech WKN-2818 is a compact benchtop centrifuge tailored for molecular diagnostics requiring efficient centrifugation of PCR tubes. It supports up to two rows of 8-strip PCR tubes (0.2 mL × 8 each), facilitating high-throughput sample processing workflows essential in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics applications.

• Maximum speed: 6200 rpm ±20%, generating relative centrifugal forces between 810×g and 2,690×g, enabling efficient pellet formation and sample separation.
• Sample capacity: Accommodates 16 PCR tubes in total, ideal for gene editing and bioprocessing protocols requiring precise sample handling.
• Dimensions: Compact footprint of 15 cm (W) × 16.3 cm (D) × 11.3 cm (H) makes it suitable for limited bench space in research or clinical labs.
• Lightweight: Weighing only 610 g excluding batteries, it facilitates portability for field or point-of-care biotechnology workflows.
• Power: Dual power options including AC mains (100–240 V, 0.6 A) or battery operation with four AA alkaline batteries provide versatility for bench or mobile use.

This centrifuge is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and molecular cloning workflows, where rapid and reliable centrifugation of small-volume PCR tubes is critical. Please note the unit is used and sold as-is, so performance might differ from new units and should be verified before critical applications.
