FAQ's of Eppendorf MiniSpin plus - Mini Centrifuge:
Q: How does the automatic lid lock and soft-touch opening improve user safety?
A: The automatic lid lock prevents the centrifuge from being opened during operation, while the soft-touch automatic opening provides easy access once the run is complete. These features eliminate the risk of accidental contact with moving rotors, ensuring safer operation for users.
Q: What types of samples and applications is the Eppendorf MiniSpin plus suitable for?
A: This centrifuge is ideal for separating small-volume samples in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and research labs. It is designed for sample separation, microfilter cell separations, and other protocols that require high-speed centrifugation of up to 12 x 1.5/2.0 ml tubes.
Q: When should I use the timer versus continuous mode for centrifugation?
A: Use the timer (15 seconds-99 minutes) for time-specific protocols to ensure accurate and repeatable results. Continuous mode is beneficial for procedures requiring extended, uninterrupted spins. Both options enhance workflow flexibility depending on your application needs.
Q: Where can this centrifuge be installed within a lab?
A: Owing to its compact footprint (23 x 23 x 13 cm) and lightweight design (4.5 kg), the MiniSpin plus can be easily placed on standard benchtops or within crowded laboratory environments. It is suitable for installation in molecular biology, clinical, or research laboratories.
Q: What is the process for starting a spin with this centrifuge?
A: To start a run, load the fixed-angle rotor with tubes, close the lid, and select the desired speed and duration via the digital LCD control panel. Press start; the device will accelerate, process, and decelerate samples automatically, unlocking the lid when it is safe to retrieve tubes.
Q: How does the MiniSpin plus benefit laboratory workflows?
A: With rapid acceleration, short braking times, and low noise operation, the MiniSpin plus boosts productivity without causing distraction. Its reliable safety mechanisms, ease of use, and robust construction make it a practical solution for busy labs needing efficient sample processing.
