Microcentrifuges

Reliable microcentrifuges for everyday laboratory use

Thermo Scientific microcentrifuges perform a variety of microvolume protocols with fast acceleration and deceleration. These centrifuges offer many options, including a choice of two performance levels, ventilated or refrigerated models, and optional rotors to fit your application. Find the ideal blend of capabilities to support basic microtube processing, nucleic acid mini-preps, spin-columns, and hematocrit tests.

Key product highlights

Ease of use

Simplify operation with intuitive controls, easy-to-read displays and fast one-click centrifuge lid closure.

Fast and efficient

Fast acceleration and deceleration, and outstanding corrosion resistance with lightweight engineered polymer rotors; includes a broad array of microcentrifuge rotors and accessories for processing micro-volumes.

Protective of user and samples

Ergonomic one-click biocontainment lid opening and closing, as well as transparent design for added safety with certified1 ClickSeal biocontainment lids.

Small samples, fast processing

The 21,100 x g microcentrifuge models are designed for high-end research applications that demand the fastest runs, and the 17,000 x g models are excellent for routine lab work. All microcentrifuges feature intuitive controls, easy-to-read displays, and one-click lid closure.

Two standard rotors

Two standard rotors, made of lightweight engineered polymer to resist corrosion, are included with microcentrifuges and accept 1.5, 2, and 5 mL microtubes. Other polymer rotors support 0.2 and 0.5 mL microtubes, PCR strip tubes, and hematocrit capillary tubes. Some rotors accommodate ClickSeal biocontainment lids for added sample protection.
