Novara™ MCV-8 PCR Mini Centrifuge & Vortex Mixer | Automated 3-in-1 Prep Station

Cut your sample prep time by up to 70%. Stop moving strips back and forth — experience one-touch, automated spin-mix-spin sequencing designed to completely standardize PCR workflows and eliminate human variance.

Three Modes, One Instrument The MCV-8 gives you complete flexibility. Run centrifuge and vortex mixing together as a fully automated combination loop, or use each function independently — centrifuge only or mix only — depending on your protocol. With programmable cycles ranging from 1 to 999 repeats and saved program memory, your settings are locked in and ready to go every single run. One instrument replaces two, with no compromises.

Save Up to 70% of Prep Time Traditional sample prep forces technicians to manually open, transfer, and close tubes between separate mini-centrifuges and vortexers. The Novara MCV-8 automates this entire multi-step sequence into a single, hands-free protocol — reducing workflow handling time by up to 70% and allowing staff to walk away to focus on high-value tasks.

Reduce User Error by 95% Human variance and skipped steps during manual processing are a leading cause of inconsistent assay data. By locking the instrument into a unified, programmable combination loop, the MCV-8 ensures your PCR master mixes and templates are processed with identical parameters every single run, eliminating up to 95% of user-induced prep variability.

100% Fluid Recovery, Zero Cross-Contamination Manual vortexing forces liquid droplets into tube caps, risking sample loss and aerosol cross-contamination upon opening. The MCV-8 safeguards your high-value reactions by immediately executing an automated post-vortex spin, driving 100% of the fluid volume back to the conical baseline before the lid unlocks.

Versatile Carrier System Interchangeable rotors accommodate a wide range of tube formats — from 0.2 mL PCR 8-strip tubes to 1.5/2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes. The multi-level quick-release locking mechanism ensures carriers seat securely every time and swap out in seconds without tools.

Built-In Safety at Every Step The clear dome lid features proximity sensors that halt the motor instantly if opened mid-run. Abnormal vibration detection provides an additional layer of protection — automatically shutting down the unit if imbalance is detected during operation. Run unattended with confidence.
