These slits allow excessive heat to escape when the centrifuge is running at a high speed and this keeps the heat in the chamber to a minimum.
Yes, you can change the speed and time during centrifugation.
Yes. You can set the centrifuge to 9 different ramps. The acceleration and deceleration times can be set from 15 to 90 seconds.
The sample temperature (equivalent to the chamber temperature) will increase by no more than 12ºC above ambient temperature after 1 hour of centrifugation at maximum speed.
No. The rotor is driven by a brushless DC motor that does not need calibration.
Yes, it does. Regular maintenance includes checks on possible chemical damage. It can extend the maximum operating life of the centrifuge.
The rotor and chamber should be cleaned with a moist cloth and neutral detergents after use and on a weekly basis. In the event of a spill, or contamination of the rotor and chamber by aggressive liquids, it should be cleaned immediately. The rotor and lid can be autoclaved. But never autoclave the rotor with the lid attached.
The recommended total reaction volume is 25 μl. Which is 12.5 μl of BlueAmp 2X PCR Mix per reaction.
BlueAmp 2X PCR Mix is stable for up to 3 months at 4°C. If stored at -20°C, it’s stable for up to 24 months.
BlueAmp 2X PCR Mix w/ FluoDye already contains DNA dye. Therefore, as long as the PCR reaction is completed, it can be loaded onto the unstained gel directly.
