Core Lab Equipment: Pre-PCR Countertop Centrifuges
Descriptions:
-
Sigma 6K 15: This is a high volume tabletop centrifuge that can operate at speeds of 100-15,000rpm, temperatures of -20C to +40C, and is programmable for all parameters. The memory can hold up to 50 programs. A single knob controls the centrifuge using the LCD display which also shows the rotor/bucket combinations along with their max speed and gravitational field. There are separate touch keys for start, stop, and lid. An automatic rotor identification prevents rotor over-speeding. The rotors are stored in the drawer below the instrument.

- Eppendorf 5417R: This centrifuge is can spin up to 16,400rpm with a temperature range of -9C to +40C. The rotor bowl can be cooled from ambient to 4C in less than 20 minutes using the fast cool function. Rotor speed is displayed in rpm or RCF. There is a soft start/stop feature to protect samples. Automatic rotor detection displays maximum permissible speed. The current rotor holds 30X1.5/2.0 microtubes with a maximum of 14,000 rpm. At this time we only have one rotor.
User information:
The Pre-PCR centrifuges are in the WRRB PCR Free room and are first come first serve. Please sign-up each time you use them. If you make a mess please clean it up. If there are any kind of mechanical problems please alert a Core Lab Tech immediately. No PCR products are allowed. If you are not sure if you should be using the Pre-PCR centrifuges you should probably be using the regular ones in the Core Lab. For further information contact a Core Lab Tech.
