Product type
Microcentrifuges are compact laboratory devices designed to spin small samples at high speeds, typically ranging from 6,000 to 20,000 RPM. They are commonly made from durable materials such as plastic or metal and feature a rotor that holds microtubes or small vials securely during operation. The high centrifugal force generated allows for the separation of components in a liquid sample based on density, making them essential for various laboratory applications.
| Max Speed | 6,000 to 20,000 RPM |
| Capacity | 1.5 to 2.0 mL microtubes |
| Weight | Approximately 1 to 5 kg |
| Power Supply | 110V to 240V AC |
| Temperature Control | Optional refrigerated models available |
When selecting a microcentrifuge, consider the maximum speed and capacity required for your applications. It's important to specify the types of samples you will be processing, as some models may offer specialized rotors or adapters for different tube sizes. Additionally, check for features such as temperature control or programmable settings, which can enhance usability. Certifications such as ISO or CE may also be relevant depending on your laboratory's standards.

Microcentrifuges are ideal for small volumes of biological samples, including blood, DNA, RNA, and proteins.
Regular cleaning and inspection of the rotor and lid seals are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
Microcentrifuges are designed for small volumes; for larger samples, consider a standard centrifuge.
Refrigerated microcentrifuges maintain low temperatures to preserve sample integrity during centrifugation.
Select a rotor based on the tube size and type of samples you will be processing; compatibility is key.
Look for features such as lid locks, imbalance detection, and automatic shut-off for enhanced safety.
