ORBITER MICRO
Type: Mini-microcentrifuge
Power Source: 9v DC-in, 9v DC Battery Application: Molecular Biology (PCR), etc Development Status: Complete (8x0.2ml version) The Orbiter Micro is a super portable mini-microcentrifuge that fits on the palm of your hand. It is designed with a fully 3d-printed body and rotor. It runs on either battery or DC power plug... so you can slide it into your bag and take it almost anywhere! This tool is very useful for spinning down PCR mixes in tubes, as well as other applications that do not require high speeds and precision speed control. Commercial equivalent of these things cost up to PhP 30,000, but why pay such a high price if you can make one for a tenth of the cost? |
The version for PCR tubes is complete. The 1.5ml microcentrifuge tube-version capable of spinning down blood plasma and serum is currently in development and will be released in the future.
