Microcentrifuges
Compact footprint centrifuges used for small sample sizes, such as microtubes. Ideal for microfilter cell separations and HPLC samples. Available as electronic or handheld manual units; may have digital interfaces and refrigeration capabilities.
Microcentrifuges are specifically designed to accommodate tubes that hold less than 5.0 mL. Although benchtop centrifuges can be fitted with rotors for microtubes, microcentrifuges usually have a smaller footprint, which makes for a less-crowded work area.
As with other benchtop centrifuges, these units can be ventilated (operated without temperature controls) or refrigerated. Most are sold with a rotor, although additional alternate rotors may be available.
Eppendorf™ Centrifuge 5425 - Microcentrifuge PROMO
Centrifuge 5425 features ergonomic operation and six rotors with a maximum speed of up to 21,300 x g, covering all molecular biological applications in tubes from 0.2 to 5 mL.
Cole-Parmer Stuart 8500 Microcentrifuge, 8500 rpm; 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
The Stuart 8500 microcentrifuge provides high speed centrifugation with enhanced safety features. The high speed 8500 rpm and 3884 RCF rating allows users to spin samples rapidly or be used in applications where greater g-force is required. Prevent accidental opening with the innovative dual safety locking lid. The unit will only spin when the lid is closed and will automatically shut off after 60 minutes of continuous use. The rubber-coated base allows for enhanced stability and reduced vibration.
