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.
Labnet International, Inc Spectrafuge 24D, Digital microcentrifuge, Teal Accents
The Spectrafuge 24D microcentrifuge combines innovations such as a unique, easy access rotor, exclusive multi-flow air cooling system and high-performance drive with a digital microprocessor that precisely regulates operation.
Thomas Scientific MyFuge 12 Mini Centrifuge, 100-240V (US Plug)
Unlike traditional mini centrifuges, the MyFuge 12 eliminates the need to change rotors when switching between microtubes and PCR strips. The included, unique COMBI-Rotor is all that is required for running 12 microtubes and 4 PCR strips simultaneously.
Research Products International Corp Sprout Plus Mini Centrifuge, Green
Sprout Plus Mini-Centrifuge is ideal for quick spinning of samples at the workbench, in a cold room, or fume hood. New locking lid fits in the palm of the hand for easy, repeat opening and one hand tube extraction. Ergonomic lid design accommodates longer and skirted tubes and tall tube lids.
Supplied with convenient tool-free Snapspin rotors that quickly snap into unit and hold 6 x 1.5-2.0ml tubes or 16 x 0.2ml PCR tubes (single or 2x8 strip); 6 x 0.2ml tube adapters; 6 x 0.5ml tube adapters; 4 Lid O-rings; storage case for rotors and adapters; tube rack; and low voltage, double insulated power adapter with 4 interchangeable plugs for power adapter.
Features include fast braking motor that stops spinning when lid is opened; maintenance free motor; and weighted rubberized base that eliminates movement and dampens vibration and noise.
Ideal for short runs

Cole-Parmer Stuart SCF3 Microcentrifuge, 500 to 15,000 rpm; 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
This microcentrifuge is small and quiet enough for personal use, but offers advanced features typical of larger benchtop centrifuges. In addition to the user-friendly digital interface, the centrifuge comes with software and a USB cable allowing for remote operation and data acquisition. For safety, the lid remains locked while the rotor is in motion and automatically releases when the rotor comes to a halt. In the event of a power failure, an emergency lid release latch is installed in the base. Program speed or RCF and time, which is saved in onboard memory. Imbalance detection system identifies an asymmetrical load and prevents operation.
