Eppendorf A-2-DWP-AT Microplate Rotor

The Eppendorf A-2-DWP-AT Microplate Rotor is a specialized swing-bucket rotor engineered for high-throughput centrifugation in Eppendorf 5810 and 5810 R benchtop centrifuges. Research laboratories, genomic facilities, and clinical diagnostic centers rely on this rotor to process deepwell plates, standard microplates, and filter units efficiently. In addition, the included buckets provide balanced, secure sample seating, which eliminates cross-well contamination and ensures uniform pelleting across all wells.

Eppendorf A-2-DWP-AT Key Features and Capabilities

• High-Throughput Plate Capacity: The dual-bucket assembly accommodates standard 96-well and 384-well microplates, deepwell plates (DWP), and cell culture plates. Consequently, laboratories can spin multiple plate stacks simultaneously to maximize daily sample output.
• Aerosol-Tight Containment: Designed with certified aerosol-tight caps and seals. Therefore, the rotor safely contains hazardous bio-samples, aerosols, and volatile liquids to protect both operators and clean laboratory air.
• Centrifugal Speed and Force: The rotor delivers maximum speeds up to 3,700 rpm (approx. 2,250 × g rcf) in compatible 5810/5810 R models. As a result, it provides ample separation force for cell harvesting, DNA precipitation, and sample filtration.
• Durable Rotor Construction: Engineered from high-grade aluminum with anodized surfaces. Furthermore, this resilient construction resists chemical spills and tolerates routine autoclave cycles for thorough decontamination.
• Balanced Swing-Bucket Action: Precision-guided pivot points ensure smooth, horizontal swinging during acceleration and deceleration. Thus, the system prevents pellet resuspension and sample disturbance at the end of each run.

Common Applications

• Genomics and Molecular Biology: High-throughput plasmid isolation, DNA/RNA extraction, and post-PCR purification plates.
• Cell Biology and Culture Work: Pelleting suspension cells directly within deepwell plates and multi-well assay blocks.
• Protein and Enzyme Purification: Driving sample flow through 96-well filtration and solid-phase extraction (SPE) plates.
• Clinical and Diagnostic Screening: Batch preparation of ELISA plates and microtiter reaction mixtures.

Operational Advantages

The Eppendorf A-2-DWP-AT expands the operational versatility of 5810 and 5810 R centrifuges by turning standard benchtop units into high-throughput plate processing stations. Its robust build and aerosol containment reduce maintenance downtime while safeguarding sensitive biological work.

Ultimately, the Eppendorf A-2-DWP-AT Microplate Rotor delivers an optimal blend of high capacity, aerosol-tight safety, and reliable g-force performance. By streamlining multi-well plate centrifugation, it empowers modern research and clinical labs to boost daily throughput with absolute confidence.
