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

Cut down on hands-on sample prep. Stop moving strips back and forth — experience one-touch, automated spin-mix-spin sequencing designed to standardize PCR workflows and reduce 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.

Save 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 and allowing staff to walk away to focus on high-value tasks.

Reduce User Error 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, reducing user-induced prep variability.

Better Fluid Recovery, Lower Contamination Risk 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 the fluid 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.
