This document introduces the Agilent BenchCel Workstations Automated Microplate Centrifugation Solution, which can be used for PCR purification, cell harvesting, post-PCR process condensate spin-down, high density plate air bubble removal and many more applications. This solution integrates a wide range of instruments with the Agilent BenchCel Microplate Handler to create flexible benchtop automation solutions.
Agilent Technologies presents an automated microplate centrifugation solution designed for flexible benchtop automation. This system integrates the Agilent BenchCel Microplate Handler with the Agilent Microplate Centrifuge and Automated Centrifuge Loader. It supports various applications including filtration protocols for PCR purification, cell harvesting for plasmid preps, condensate spin-down, and removal of air bubbles in high-density plates. The solution allows for walk-away convenience and can handle up to 320 plates per run with a six-rack configuration.
