COMPACT, MODULAR, MICROPLATE<br />

CENTRIFUGE DESIGNED FOR TOTAL<br />

ROBOTIC INTEGRATION<br />

<strong>Ixion</strong> <strong>is</strong> a <strong>microplate</strong> <strong>centrifuge</strong><br />

<strong>module</strong> <strong>specially</strong> <strong>adapted</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />

robotic access and PC-control.<br />

Accommodating 2 <strong>microplate</strong>s, deep well plates or gel cards,<br />

its compact design facilitates complete integration into robotic<br />

sample processor units, where it <strong>is</strong> powered by 48 V and<br />

controlled via CAN or RS232 interface.<br />

Designed with modular integration in mind, <strong>Ixion</strong> operates<br />

with minimal vibration. Advanced safety features ensure that<br />

unit stops if the rotor <strong>is</strong> unbalanced.
