Description
The Benchmark Scientific® myFuge™ VX puts a personal mini centrifuge and a dedicated vortex mixer into a single compact instrument. It is the only mini centrifuge with built-in vortex mixing (patent pending), so samples can be mixed and spun down at one station without giving up bench space to two separate devices.
On the centrifuge side, the myFuge VX ships with an 8-place rotor for 1.5/2.0 ml microtubes and a four-position rotor for PCR strips. Close the lid and the rotor runs up to 6,000 rpm (2,000 x g), bringing droplets and condensation to the bottom of the tube within seconds. Press the lid-release button and the electronic brake stops the rotor in 1 to 2 seconds. Rotors attach and release by hand with the Click-n-Lok™ system, with no tools needed, and the PCR rotor stores in a compartment on the underside of the unit, which also holds the optional 0.5 ml tube adapters.
A second motor drives the vortex mixer. Press a tube lightly onto the centre of the cup head and mixing starts on contact; operation is smooth and quiet, and handles tubes up to 50 ml.
