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.

Microfuge 20R microcentrifuge, IVD, w/FA241.5P fixed angle rotor, 120 V/60 Hz
Alkali Scientific MyFuge™ 5 Microcentrifuge for 5mL Tubes, 115v
The MyFuge™ 5 Microcentrifuge includes a four position rotor for compatibility with a variety of 5mL test tubes, including 5mL snap cap centrifuge tubes. In addition, this combination rotor has four additional slots for centrifuging standard micro tubes (1.5/2.0mL). Simply close the lid and the centrifuge quickly accelerates to the fixed speed of 5,500rpm. Open the lid, and the rotor decelerates to a stop for removing samples. The 5mL rotor positions accepts 5mL centrifuge tubes (snap cap) directly. While 5mL blood and culture tubes (12x75mm) and cryovials are also accepted with the included adapters. The micro tube positions are also designed to accept 0.5 and 0.2mL tubes with the use of optional adapters, and a PCR rotor is also available for use with eight position PCR strips.
Alkali Scientific MC-24™ High Speed Microcentrifuge with COMBI-Rotor, 115v
MC-24 Touch is the first microcentrifuge in its class to feature touch screen control. In addition to the next generation control panel, the centrifuge also offers high speed (up to 13,500 rpm/16,800 xg) and a unique COMBI-Rotor that accepts both standard microtubes (1.5/2.0mL) and PCR tubes/strips (0.2mL), making this the perfect partner for any molecular biology laboratory. The large, color touch screen shows actual speed (in rpm or rcf) along with set and remaining time. Up to 9 speed/time profiles can be stored in memory and the home screen displays a “mySpin” icon for instant recalls a designated favorite profile.
Electron Microscopy Sciences EMS MyFuge™ Mini Centrifuge with Clear Lid, 240 V
The MyFuge Mini centrifuge is a personal centrifuge that virtually fits in the palm of your hand. Ideal for quick spin downs of microtubes and PCR tubes, it is extremely easy to use. Simply close the lid and the rotor instantly reaches 6,000 rpm. Open the lid, and the rotor quickly decelerates to a stop for removing samples.
An increased capacity, eight-position microtube rotor is included and comes installed. Also included is a second rotor for 0.2 mL PCR tubes and strips which is stored (together with the rotor removal key) in a convenient compartment on the bottom of the centrifuge.
