The ideal partner to the xxpress®, ensuring samples are evenly distributed on the base of the XXplate™ well

The xxpress® Centrifuge is provided alongside the xxpress Real-Time PCR Thermal Cycler to ensure that the sample is correctly located at the bottom of the plate prior to thermal cycling. The Centrifuge can also be used in analytical chemistry, microbiology, virology, clinical biochemistry.

The Centrifuge comes equipped with a rotor that will take an xxplate™ (xxplates™ are the consumable test plate used by the xxpress® (24 well, 54 well and 96 well all fit into the same rotor) the extra rotor can fitted if you wish to use the system with 96 well microplates. The Centrifuge has a microprocessor control system that provides smoothness of rotor rotation and controls the start, duration and speed of rotation. The unit has a number of safety controls including the locking of the lid during operation and a built-in imbalance sensor.

Founded in 1996 by BJS Company, BJS Biotechnologies was created to create and develop ultra-high speed thermocycling technology and apply it to PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests. It previewed its q-PCR xxpress? thermal cycler at Biotechnica in October 2011

BJS Company Ltd is BJS Biotechnologies’ parent company. It supplies precision electroforming, electroplating, high quality silversmithing and sophisticated assembly of electroforms for industrial applications. Since the early 1990s, BJS Company has been the world’s leading supplier of the silver heat exchange blocks used in the faster PCR thermal cyclers. The blocks are electro-formed using a process created by the company’s current Managing Director Richard Lewis. Richard is the grandson of Benjamin Lewis who founded BJS Company in 1945.
