MSC-2P is a benchtop centrifuge intended to collect droplets, mix reagents and collect once more for improved PCR yield in subsequent analysis. The combination of spin-mix functionality ensures fast operation, thorough mixing and repeatable results. The rotor can accommodate 2 non-skirted or semi-skirted PCR plates.

The MSC-2P has 4 independent modes:

• Centrifuge — Max. 3500 RPM
• Vortex — up to 5 min
• Centrifuge/Vortex — combined two motion types
• Spin-mix-spin algorithm — up to 10 cycles

The spin-mix-spin algorithm (SMS-algorithm) is designed to collect (or reset) micro volumes of reagents to the bottom of the PCR plate tubes (the first centrifugation or spin), then vortexing (mix) and re-collecting reagents (repeated spin) from the walls and cover. We call this this repetitive algorithm of operations, aimed at reducing sample preparation errors, the SMS algorithm.
