The C2000-DWMP is the deep-well-plate rotor accessory for the PlateFuge C2000 chassis — sold. Holds deep-well plates up to 35 mm tall (vs the standard PlateFuge rotor designed for shallow microplates ~14 mm tall). Speed-limited to 1,500 RPM (lower than the standard rotor's max RPM, reflecting deep-well-plate balance constraints at higher speeds).
Key Specifications
| SKU | C2000-DWMP |
| Type | Deep-well-plate rotor for PlateFuge |
| Plate height capacity | Up to 35 mm tall (deep-well plates) |
| Max RPM | 1,500 RPM (lower than standard rotor — deep-well balance constraint) |
| Compatible chassis | C2000 (PlateFuge) |
Why the Speed Limit — Deep-Well-Plate Balance
Deep-well plates have substantially more mass per well than shallow plates (35 mm vs ~14 mm depth) — at high RPM, slight imbalances between wells produce destabilizing forces on the rotor. The 1,500 RPM speed limit ensures safe operation within the deep-well rotor's mechanical envelope.
For workflows that need higher RPM on deep-well plates, alternative centrifuge solutions (full benchtop centrifuges with deep-well rotor support) are required.
Pick the C2000-DWMP when:
- Workflow uses deep-well plates up to 35 mm tall
- Cell-culture deep-well-plate workflows — suspension cell culture in deep-well format
- DNA / RNA extraction in deep-well format
- Magnetic-bead-based assay workflows in deep-well format
Stay with standard PlateFuge rotor when shallow microplate workflows match the routine — standard rotor reaches higher RPM.
Ordering & Configuration
Pair with C2000 PlateFuge chassis.
Confirm deep-well plate height — adapters fit plates up to 35 mm tall.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing, intended deep-well workflow context, plate height fit, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms.
