PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Micro centrifuges – compact benchtop centrifuges for 0.2 ml, 1.5/2 ml and 5 ml Eppendorf tubes, PCR strips, spin columns, with a maximum rotor capacity of 6 to 48 tubes, with an acceleration of up to 25 000 g. Basically, these centrifuges are equipped with fixed-angle rotors (so-called angular). There are centrifuges with both a single rotor available and a wide selection of rotors. There are unique rotors – for PCR plates, a bucket rotor for 1.5 ml tubes, a rotor for spin columns (centrifugation of tubes with open lids).
Base models have no programming capability – only start at maximum acceleration and stop at shutdown. Digitally controlled centrifuges can be programmed for the desired acceleration, centrifugation time, and, depending on the model, set the cooling to a certain temperature. The presence of a cooling function in the centrifuge allows you to centrifuge temperature-sensitive samples.
To select a centrifuge for your tasks, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics: what centrifugal acceleration (g) is required by the protocol; what volume of tubes is planned to be centrifuged; centrifuge capacity; whether refrigeration is required during centrifugation; the possibility of programming; whether the rotor is required to be aerosol-tight.
