CENTRIFUGE VORTEX MIXER
The PCV 2400 and PCV 6000 centrifuges are engineered for safe, efficient, and flexible laboratory operation. The PCV 2400 delivers speeds up to 3500 rpm and includes a vortex function that can be used even under full load, making it well suited for routine microtube applications. The PCV 6000 offers enhanced performance with speeds up to 6000 rpm, multi-spin capability, programmable run sequences, and a clear 2-line LCD for precise control. Both models feature built-in safety interlocks that immediately stop the rotor when the lid is opened, come with interchangeable rotors for different microtube sizes, and support optional accessory rotors. Their compact, quiet, and reliable design makes them ideal for a wide range of laboratory workflows.
Application
High-Performance Centrifugation
PCV 2400 operates up to 3500 rpm, while PCV 6000 delivers speeds up to 6000 rpm for versatile lab applications.
User-Friendly Operation
Simple push-button controls with short-spin, continuous, multi-spin, and mix functions for easy handling.
Advanced Mixing Capability
Innovative vortex function allows effective mixing, even during full-load spinning (PCV 6000).
Safe & Flexible Design
Built-in safety interlock stops the rotor when the lid is opened; interchangeable and optional rotors support multiple microtube formats.
Compact, Quiet & Versatile Use
Compact, low-noise operation suitable for life science, PCR diagnostics, microbiological, clinical, and biotechnological laboratories.
