Blue®Fuge

AUTOMATION-FRIENDLY
UNPRECEDENTED CONTROL OF ALL CENTRIFUGAL PARAMETERS

Based on the same design and API as the Blue®Washer, Blue®Fuge is a compact, automation-friendly robot-accessible microplate centrifuge that allows for unprecedented control and repeatability of all physical centrifugation parameters. Quiet, robust, vibration-free and extremely fast, Blue®Fuge is capable of reaching 600g within 2.5 seconds. Ideal for high and medium throughput applications such as pelletization of cells for flow cytometry, air bubble removal, and nudging cells into BlueCatBio’s Blue®Plate’s Cell®Safe reservoirs.
