I'm running eDNA samples that have super low DNA concentrations. When I prepare them for qPCR I would like to spin them down, and I have a small benchtop plate spinner centrifuge, but I'm not sure that I trust it to not mix samples when I place the plate in vertically with a plate film on top.

I see amplification at very high Ct levels across the board in my samples (higher than I would call a positive sample) and I'm wondering if this might be due to contamination when I spin down my plate. Any suggestions for spinning down plates without this issue? Would you trust a small benchtop plate spinner centrifuge to keep the wells separate?
